Research
Dr. Appleby`s research broadly considers the intersection between contact with the criminal legal system and the experience of education. She employs a person-first approach to her research that prioritizes engagement with the incarcerated population and those who work inside correctional facilities and stems from her experiences as a first-generation college student. Within this framework, her research uses a multi-method approach to understand instructor experiences teaching for higher education programs in the non-traditional classroom.
