Chris Bruckert

Chris Bruckert is a Full Professor in the Department of Criminology at the University of Ottawa, teaching CRM 8110 (PhD Methods Seminar), CRM 2307 (Women and Gendered Violence), and CRM 6395 (Theoretical Contributions to Criminology). Her office is located in room 13026 of the FSS building with Tuesday office hours from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM.

Her academic background includes:

• Ph.D. in Sociology, Carleton University (2000)
• M.A. in Criminology, University of Ottawa (1991)
• B.A. in Criminology, University of Ottawa (1990)

Professor Bruckert's research employs gendered intersectional frameworks to analyze violence across two primary domains: sex industry dynamics (street-based work, erotic dance, trafficking, and male sex workers) and workplace violence against educators. Her two-decade investigation of sex work examines legal frameworks' impact on safety, while her current SSHRC-funded project addresses escalating violence against Ontario elementary school teachers.

Her 2018-2021 publications reveal consistent focus on criminalization policies and vulnerable populations. Articles demonstrate methodological rigor in qualitative analysis of sex worker safety under "end demand" laws and systemic failures in protecting educators, bridging criminological theory with practical safety interventions for marginalized groups.

As Principal Investigator of the SSHRC-funded project "Workplace Violence and Elementary School Educators in Ontario," she leads critical research on institutional responses to educator victimization. While her biography emphasizes extensive field research and policy engagement, specific graduate student supervision details remain unlisted in available materials.
