Joshua Kaiser uses a critical, sociological lens to study state power and social inequality in three main projects. First, he analyzes an underrecognized set of U.S. penal policies that he calls “hidden sentences”: all state-imposed imposed punishments inflicted on criminalized people beyond formally recognized, judge-issued sentences (e.g., restrictions on employment, housing, welfare, or education). He argues that these penal policies operate at a fundmanetal level to legitimize and normalize race and other inequalities. Second, Kaiser studies the social, multidimensional (racial, gendered, and criminal) process of genocide in Darfur and elsewhere. Third, he is also coauthor of a book and several articles on racial segregation, legal cynicism, and violence in the U.S.-led war in Iraq.
