Bio/Research
Jessica Evans' research examines the role of white supremacy and carcerality in the political economy of state formation, primarily in Canada. She examines the causes, conditions and consequences of incarceration in Canada, framed through anti-racist, decolonial, abolitionist and critical political and economic theories. She is interested in how practices of policing have been and continue to be mobilized to both generate and shape settler-state structures while also contributing to (re)definitions of the ‘ideal’ political subject.
Her most recent project, entitled "Prisoners’ Rights and Wellbeing: Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic," was in collaboration with the Prisoner HIV/AIDS Support Action Network and funded by a SSHRC Partnership Engage grant. She is also interested in critical pedagogy, examining her role and responsibility as a white-settler educator in supporting and enacting anti-racist and decolonial pedagogies.
Evans holds a PhD from York University's Department of Political Science, supported by the SSHRC Joseph-Armond Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarship.
