معرفی
Paula Maurutto is a Professor at the University of Toronto's Mississauga campus (UTM), specializing in Sociology of Crime and Law and Political Sociology. She actively supervises graduate students and maintains a research profile centered on critical examinations of criminal justice systems, state surveillance, and the sociopolitical dynamics of marginalized communities.
Her research interests focus on:
- Surveillance practices targeting Muslim communities in Canada
- Neoliberalism and populism in contemporary politics
- Algorithmic fairness and risk assessment in criminal justice
- Urban governance and community development in North American contexts
- Racialization within security and legal frameworks
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2020-2025) reveals consistent engagement with critical sociological perspectives on social control mechanisms. Her work demonstrates strong thematic continuity across Canadian and Mexican contexts, particularly examining how state policies intersect with race, religion, and class to produce unequal outcomes. Key methodological approaches include qualitative analysis of institutional practices and critical discourse analysis of policy frameworks.
Professor Maurutto mentors graduate students in sociology and related disciplines, guiding research on law, crime, and political sociology through UTM's academic programs.
