Recherche
My core interests are the nature and exercise of power and resistance which I explore in a number of substantive areas. My forthcoming book on Robben Island prison (Cambridge University Press, 2003) explores political prisoner resistance under apartheid as well as its influence on the apartheid state and anti-apartheid political movements. I also work on race, law and constitutionalism, and social and political change. My next project focuses on definitions and understanding of crime, politics, and violence to examine how groups and states marshal law, violence, and ideology to justify and/or challenge political and criminal terror. One aspect of that study is a comparative analysis of Zimbabwe's and South Africa's legal and discursive constructions of terrorism.
Enseignement
Professor Fran Buntman’s primary teaching and research interests focus on prisons and other institutions of punishment and ‘correction’, law and power, and inequality, especially in the United States and South Africa. She is interested both in open and hidden expressions of power and resistance, and how social institutions tell us a great deal about our social values and commitments. Her teaching, research, and writing seek to integrate and facilitate inter-disciplinary dialogue between and among theory and practice, scholarly contribution and civic involvement, global and local realities.
