The week, The Criminology Academy hosts Kelsey Kramer and Dr. Kathleen Padilla. We chat with Kelsey and Kathleen about graduate student mental health and work/life balance.
Kelsey is a PhD student in the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology at Sam Houston State University. Her primary research focuses on gender and race and ethnicity in criminal justice contexts – especially in sentencing and policing, discretionary decision-making, and methodological issues in research. She is also interested in research surrounding disability and mental health in criminal justice and academia more broadly. Her previous work has appeared in Justice Quarterly, and she is working on several other projects related to research interests mentioned previously.
Kathleen just completed her PhD from Arizona State University, focusing on police officer mental health and access to and engagement with mental health services. She also examines mental health in academia, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts by organizations (including, but not limited to academia), and student support services. Her work has been published in outlets such as Occupational Medicine, Psychology, Public Policy, & Law, and Journal of Developmental and Life-Course Criminology.
