Jennifer Sumner, "Collaborative Research: Innovating and Experiencing Punishment in Denmark” from the National Science Foundation ($61,569 over two years awarded to CSUDH in a collaborative project with UCI and University of Missouri for the total amount of $312,996). As U.S. mass incarceration policies face ongoing criticism, policymakers are turning towards Europe for alternative incarceration models. Our research examines the punishment practices of Denmark, a nation often touted as a model of humane and limited incarceration. Through interviews conducted with stakeholders, prison staff, and

Terry McGlynn, "IRES: Fire, Carbon and Climate Change in Australia" from the National Science Foundation ($249,922 over 3 years, 2013-2016). This project identifies talented individuals early in their career development in order to provide an immersive research experience to enhance the trajectory towards doctoral study in the sciences. The goal of this proposal is to develop students from underrepresented groups to become scientists engaging in international collaboration. To accomplish this goal, twelve students from California State University Dominguez Hills will conduct 28 weeks of collaborative research at the CSIRO Tropical Ecosystems Research Centre in Darwin, Australia. Kelli Beard, “Project Uniting to Prepare Low Incidence Teachers (UPLIfT)” from the US Department of Education ($1,118,354 over 5 years 2013-2018). Project UPLIfT will address the critical shortage of fully credentialed (K-12) culturally and/or linguistically diverse teachers prepared to meet the needs of children with low-incidence disabilities in urban high-need schools by offering an accelerated on- and off-campus 15-month program of study.

prisoners and analysis of archival data, this work develops an understanding of how the enactment and experience of punishment differ across Danish prisons. It explores the implications of the expansion of closed (high-security) prisons for prisoners in Denmark. This research expands and deepens American dialogues about the causes and consequences of excessive punishment.
