Albert de la Tierra

Albert de la Tierra is a Co-Director of The Critical Social History Project and a Visiting Assistant Professor in Criminal Justice Studies at San Francisco State University. A critical ethnographer by training, his work aims to understand how lived experiences are involved with broader, historically-rooted relations of power. His current project, Preserving Justice: Historic Texts and the Foundations of Critical Criminology, documents the history of critical criminology in a manner that brings attention to the paradigm's global, intersectional, and activist qualities. He is receiving his PhD in Sociology from The Graduate Center at the City University of New York, where he has also completed advanced certificate programs in Critical Theory and Women and Gender Studies. His most recent publications can be found in Feminist Criminology and Critical Issues in Justice and Politics. He teaches a range of undergraduate courses related to his areas of expertise: sociological and criminological theory, qualitative research design, and gender studies.
