Dr. Brotherton grew up in the East End of London, England where he worked in various blue-collar jobs while organizing labor and youth. In the fields of sociology and criminology Dr. Brotherton is primarily concerned with the dialectical relationship between social exclusion and resistance. The subjects of his collaborative ethnographic studies include high school drop-outs, street gangs, deportees and undocumented immigrants. Currently, Dr. Brotherton is particularly involved in the developing field of cultural criminology and its application to transnational populations. Dr. Brotherton is a member of the Graduate Center Ph.D. programs in criminal justice, sociology and urban education and is John Jay’s faculty representative at the European Common Sessions in Critical Criminology.
