Jill Fort is currently working on finishing up her Ph.D. with the University of Nebraska-Omaha. Her research interests include: corrections; juvenile delinquency/justice; juvenile and criminal justice policy; gender issues and inequalities in the justice system. Currently, Fort is researching the disparity-discrimination debate and attempting to determine, at least in one midwestern state, which argument appears to hold true with regard to both individuals' race and gender. While she was in Nebraska, she had the opportunity to teach several sections at both the University of Nebraska-Omaha and the University of Nebraska Lincoln campus’.
