Linda Mussell: the colour of remorse
2019 Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation Scholar Linda Mussell co-authored an article in _The Conversation _focusing on remorse and the performance of emotion in cases involving dangerous offenders.
"The key message is that courts and the legal system, along with the helpful hand of the media, imagine some folks as worthier of condemnation simply because of how they interpret the defendant's ability to emote (or fail to emote) feelings."
Linda Mussell is a doctoral candidate in political studies at Queen's University who is passionate about prison justice and decolonizing research. Her work is focused on breaking cycles of intergenerational incarceration in countries grappling with colonial legacies, specifically Canada, Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand.
