Stephanie Ehret is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Trent. She is a critical criminologist, and her research examines ways in which the criminal legal system upholds and perpetuates gendered, raced, classed, and ableist social inequalities, and she explores principles and extralegal options for doing justice. She has critically examined restorative principles and social remedies for responding to intimate partner violence. Her present work includes a SSHRC funded project to build a better understanding of the perceptions and lived experiences that autistic adults have of criminal justice in Canada, and what can be done to create improvements. She has published in The British Journal of Criminology and the Canadian Journal of Women and the Law, and presented at Canadian conferences on gendered violence.
She also serves as President of the Board of Directors at the Durham Rape Crisis Centre in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada.
