Julienne Weegels

Julienne Weegels is assistant professor of Latin American Studies and coordinator of the Global Justice minor at the University of Amsterdam, CEDLA. Her research focuses on the contestation and expansion of carceral techniques in Central America and the Netherlands, particularly beyond the prison proper – into people’s embodied experiences, daily lives and the urban fabric, as well as across policy domains (such as migration detention and protest repression). She is co-organizer of the Global Prisons Research Network and co-editor of the forthcoming book Carceral Worlds: Legacies, Textures and Futures of Confinement (Bloomsbury Academic).
