About

Sarah Armstrong is Senior Research Fellow based at Glasgow University. Her research interests revolve around prisons and punishment: policy processes that shape and sustain them; language practices that inform and construct them; market and governance forces that expand and contain them. She has an ESRC small grant (September 2008 – September 2010) to conduct an ethnography of penal policy and teaches on the MSc Criminology and Criminal Justice module ‘Crime, Media and Popular Culture’.
