Long Citation
Mariana Valverde is an international leader in criminology and the sociology of law. Her award-winning book, Diseases of the Will: Alcohol and the Dilemmas of Freedom (Cambridge) has transformed understanding of how the autonomous self, as studied in the history of Western philosophy, is formed through ordinary practices of regulation. In a recent series of books with the university presses of Cambridge, Princeton and Stanford, she provides highly original analyses of the intersection between legal and scientific knowledge and institutions. Her research not only advances scholarship at the highest level, but is of fundamental significance for public policy and law reform.
