Anne-Marie’s research interests concern critical and anti-racist criminology; contemporary social and political theory; moral philosophy; policing; social control; and governance. She recently launched a digital project on the contributions made by racialized and Indigenous individuals as criminal justice professionals. The Criminal Justice Firsts Project is a collaborative undertaking with Mandissa Arlain, a librarian, and is intended as a research and teaching resources for Ryerson members and the wider community.
