In episode 101, we feature Professor Brielle Bryan who talks to us about the usage of social safety net resources (e.g., public assistance programs) among formerly incarcerated individuals.
Brielle Bryan is an assistant professor of sociology at Rice University who studies the consequences of criminal justice system contact for both individuals who encounter the justice system and their extended family members. Her research examines how varying forms of justice system contact ranging from arrest to incarceration shape subsequent economic, social, and household wellbeing, with particular attention to racial disparities in both contact with the justice system and in the consequences of such contact. Dr. Bryan holds a PhD in Sociology and Social Policy from Harvard University and a Masters of Public Policy from Georgetown University.
