Biography:   Jeanne Flavin is Associate Professor of Sociology at Fordham University.  She earned her PhD in Sociology: Justice from American University in 1995.  Her scholarship examines the impact of the criminal justice system on women, and has appeared in Gender & Society, Justice Quarterly, and the Fordham University Urban Law Journal.  She co-authored the book, Class, Race, Gender & Crime:  Social Realities of Justice in America, 2nd ed. (Rowman and Littlefield, 2007) and co-edited (with Mary Bosworth) Race, Gender, and Punishment:  From Colonialism to the War on Terror (Rutgers, 2007).  Presently, she is writing a book, Our Bodies, Our Crimes on the criminalization of women’s reproduction that is slated for publication by NYU Press.  She proudly serves on the board of National Advocates for Pregnant Women.
