Jennifer Musto5 is Associate Professor of Women’s and Gender Studies at Wellesley College where she also directs the Knapp Social Science Center and co-directs the Anti-Carceral Co+Laboratory (ACC).
An interdisciplinary scholar, her research examines the sociolegal dimensions and intersectional effects of policing and punishment in the United States, particularly anti-trafficking laws and system interventions pitched as protection, yet which expose survivors, sex workers, and migrants to carceral control within and beyond the criminal legal system. Her current research traces the rise of carceral anti-violence strategies billed as therapeutic, trauma-informed alternatives to punishment. The thread that links her research, teaching, and engaged leadership is a commitment to centering the expertise and organizing efforts of impacted communities working to reimagine justice, safety, care, and community beyond carceral violence
