Fields of Interest

Linda Mussell’s teaching and research interests are centred broadly in the political science subdiscipline of public policy—put simply, what governments decide to do or not do, and explanations and outcomes of those decisions. Of focus in her work is social policy, meaning policies that seek to meet or respond to human needs, in countries including Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia, Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. More specifically, her work tends to focus on carceral politics, policies, and institutions—namely, how we think about and respond to harm.
