Curriculum Vitae

Assistant Professor

Social and Cultural Sciences

A cultural sociologist by training, Dr. Degenshein (Ph.D. 2019, Northwestern) examines the scope and consequences of the contemporary U.S. criminal justice system, with a particular interest in its relationship to social inequality. Her award-winning research has appeared in Information, Communication & Society, Theoretical Criminology, Punishment & Society, Contexts, and Theory & Society. 

Dr. Degenshein鈥檚 current book project, tentatively titled Speculative Justice: Adjudicating the Future in Counterterrorism Stings, investigates the adjudication of future wrongdoing in the courts through the rhetorical tactics that uphold, and challenge, it. The book is the first systematic examination of how the courts engage in future governance, producing punishment outcomes from counterfactual storytelling about what would have been but never was. Past research projects include an ethnography of a Chicago pawnshop as well as a study of Illinois prosecutorial lobbying that uses both FOIA-requested audio files of legislative hearings and in-depth interviews.

Dr. Degenshein is a member of Northwestern University's Society of Fellows and an inaugural instructor in Marquette鈥檚 Education Preparedness Program (EPP). She is also affiliated faculty in both the Master's of Science in Criminal Justice Data Analytics and the Race, Ethnicity, and Indigenous Studies (REIS) programs at Marquette. Previously, she worked as an English as a Foreign Language teacher in Santiago, Chile, as well as a Court Advocate in the Manhattan felony courts for the Fortune Society's alternative to incarceration programs.
