Professor Monahan's research focuses on the ways in which surveillance and security programs tend to reproduce race, class and gender inequalities. Current projects include (1) collaborative research on Department of Homeland Security “fusion centers” for the provision of national security and, (2) critical exploration of the ramifications of police and surveillance in U.S. public schools. Additional research and teaching interests include ethnography, urban studies, critical criminology, and contemporary social and cultural theory.
