Dr. Shannon Malone Gonzalez is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology and a Faculty Fellow in the Carolina Population Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her research examines the relationship between marginality and policing. Dr. Malone Gonzalez is especially interested in how black women and girls experience, understand, and resist police surveillance and violence. Drawing from black feminism and critical criminology, Dr. Malone Gonzalez uses mixed methods to investigate the social conditions that shape and obscure black women and girlsÂ’ experiences of policing across social institutions and contexts.
