Research Focus: Dr. Kilty’s work interrogates prison abolition, emotional geographies of incarceration, and criminalization of HIV nondisclosure, exposing how carceral logics permeate healthcare, gender regulation, and spatial control. Her scholarship critically examines transcarceration, affective economies in prisons, and the medicalization of social problems, emphasizing intersectional vulnerabilities of marginalized populations.
Publication Trends: Recent works (2023-2024) reveal intensified focus on anti-carceral emotional labor, HIV justice advocacy, and digital gender-based violence. Articles in Punishment & Society and Policy & Politics demonstrate methodological innovation through emotional geography frameworks, while collaborations with community activists highlight applied criminology’s role in legal reform and prison health advocacy.
Academic Mentorship: Dr. Kilty supervises five graduate students—Katarina Bogosavljevic, Jake Castro, Aislinn Paige Gallivan, Patrick Mott, and Sophie Lachapelle—fostering research on carceral health, transcarceration, and abolitionist praxis through rigorous qualitative methodologies and community-engaged scholarship.
