Bio

Tanajia Moye-Green is a Sociology Ph.D. student at Stanford University and a Knight-Hennessy Scholar.

She is also interested in how the consequences of maternal incarceration differ from those of paternal incarceration in shaping child and family wellbeing. Tanajia holds an M.Sc. in Criminal Justice and Penal Change from the University of Strathclyde and a B.A. in Sociology from Washington and Lee University. She has conducted research with the Vera Institute of Justice and the National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform, and she currently works with Dr. Sarah Brayne.
