About Laura Frizzell

Hello! I am Laura C. Frizzell (she/her/hers), a PhD Candidate in the Department of Sociology at the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, I received my B.A. in Criminology and Spanish from the University of Miami (Florida), with minors in history and education, and my M.A. in sociology from here at OSU. Currently, I work as a research assistant for Dr. Mike Vuolo,

My research primarily centers on crime and criminal legal systems, with two main sites of study: national and international. Nationally, I focus on the intersection of gender, sexuality, and race with the criminal legal system. Internationally, I focus on the long-term consequences of genocide for individuals and communities. Please see my research page for more details on current projects.
