Emily Greberman is a PhD Candidate at Rutgers University whose research centers on individuals who work within and are impacted by criminal-legal institutions and systems, primarily prisons and courts. Often concerned with people’s perceptions, attitudes, and experiences, her research strives to form a deeper understanding of how the criminal justice system and its actors influence social and occupational relationships, as well as navigate stigma, perceptions of the self, and agency.

Emily received her Bachelors of Science from Drexel University where she double-majored in Criminology and Psychology, and obtained her Masters of Science degree from the University of Pennsylvania. Upon the completion of her doctorate, she plans to join academia and looks forward to making an impact on students and those in and outside of the field.
