Dr. Indigo Koslicki started at Ball State in August, 2018, after completing her doctoral degree at Washington State University. Dr. Koslicki specializes in policing research and primarily studies police militarization, body-worn cameras, and police-community interactions. She is part of the Complex Social Interactions Lab, a multi-institutional and interdisciplinary project that examines police-community interactions through body-worn camera footage. She also manages the Open Justice Project, which hosts open access textbooks so everyone can freely access important information about the U.S. criminal justice system: Introduction to Criminal Justice: Operations, Obstacles, and Outcomes (by Indigo Koslicki), and Injustice at the Intersections: Race, Gender, Class, and Criminal Justice (by Indigo Koslicki & Andrew C. Gray).
