# erin-hatton
> This website details the research and publications of Erin Hatton, a sociology professor at the University at Buffalo. Her work primarily explores the intersections of labor, punishment, and social inequality, particularly focusing on mass incarceration and the evolving nature of work in America. The site highlights her books, such as "Coerced: Work Under Threat of Punishment" and "The Temp Economy," which analyze how systems of labor discipline and precarity extend beyond traditional employment. Hatton's research investigates the mechanisms of coercion and exploitation in various work contexts, including prison labor, workfare, and the gig economy. The site also lists her academic articles, courses taught, and media appearances related to these themes.
