Biography

Annie is a postdoctoral fellow in Law & Society at the Newcomb Institute. In 2019, she received her PhD in Sociology from the University of Washington, where she was a Comparative Law and Societies Studies Graduate Fellow. Her research sits at the intersection of Law & Society, Social Welfare, and Stratification. She is currently working on two research projects; the first examines how ideas about pregnancy have shaped surveillance in social welfare programs and the subsequent consequences for pregnant and mothering individuals’ privacy rights. The second strand of research focuses on the long-term criminal justice consequences of police contact with young people. In addition, Annie has over six years of teaching experience as a Visiting Professor at the Evergreen State College and a Graduate Instructor at the University of Washington.
