Victoria Bergbauer is a sixth-year doctoral candidate in the Department of History. She is currently completing her dissertation, which will offer the first transnational history of the formerly incarcerated. By tracing the trajectories of adolescents beyond the walls of the prison, her dissertation expands beyond the architecture of incarceration to a wider normative infrastructure that undergirded the development of restorative justice and modern European statehood. Her broader research on normalization in the nineteenth century has appeared in English, French, and Italian publications. Victoria has served as a humanities tutor for Princeton’s Prison Teaching Initiative and is co-editing a volume on “The Architecture of Confinement,” the title of the 2022 conference that she co-organized at Princeton University.
