Audrey Hickert_2I joined the University of Cincinnati faculty in the School of Criminal Justice in the fall of 2023 after four years at Southern Illinois University. My research interests span post-conviction justice interventions, with a focus on understanding the mechanisms that affect the life-course trajectories of individuals. I developed my research focus while conducting program and policy analysis at the Utah Criminal Justice Center (2003-2014) and during my graduate training at the University at Albany (SUNY) (2014-2019).
