LYNNE
HANEY is Professor of Sociology at New York University. Her research
examines how states shape and regulate a variety of social relations,
particularly gender relations. Her early work centered on state systems
of welfare, while more recently it has shifted to focus on
punishment—and on how the institutions of social control and confinement
shape the lives and livelihood of those connected to them. She is the
author of Inventing the Needy: Gender, Politics, and State Development in Hungary (2002) and Offending Women: Power, Punishment, and the Regulation of Desire (2010), which explores the lived reality of prison for women in the United States today.
