Professor Middlemass is the third Coordinator of the Africana Criminal Justice Project (ACJP) at Columbia University's Institute for Research in African-American Studies. She is presently on leave from her tenure track appointment in the Department of Political Science at the University of Kansas and is in the second year of a two-year appointment as an Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow on Race, Crime and Justice at the Vera Institute of Justice in New York City. Dr. Middlemass holds degrees from The Wichita State University (B.A., Political Science) and The University of Georgia (M.A. and Ph.D., American Politics, Public Policy & Public Administration). Professor Middlemass’ scholarship is at the intersection of a variety of social science research, including institutions, voting behavior, politics, race and public policy, and she has published on diverse topics relating to race and public policy. Her current research and teaching focuses on the intersection of race, crime, and justice, examining the collateral consequences of a felony conviction. She argues that in its zeal to lock up individuals to address one social problem, the United States has created additional public problems via the extraordinary policies that re-punish a felon upon release from prison in her book entitled Once Sentenced, Twice Punished: Collateral Consequences and the Creation of Marginalized Citizens.
