Sebastian is a criminologist specializing in crimes of the powerful and the role of capital in shaping racialized social control. In addition to his collaborative portfolio on Latina/o/x Criminologies, Sebastian’s previous qualitative and quantitative research spans the gamut of police, courts, and corrections – focusing on politically sensitive phenomena like MS-13, the federal death penalty, and COVID-19 mitigation practices in jails and detention facilities within the NYC region. Taken together, Sebastian’s interdisciplinary research examines how state-corporate power maps onto public policy, criminal justice systems, and political discourses on Latina/o/x subjectivity. Prior to Rutgers, Sebastian was a Visiting Assistant Professor at George Washington University, Department of Sociology, and a research contractor at US Department of Justice – National Institute of Justice. Together with Dr. Ivy Ken (GWU Sociology), Sebastian has coproduced scholarship on the systemic harms of industrial food systems and the role of state-corporate power therein.
