Mona Lynch is an associate professor and chair of the Justice Studies Department at San Jose State University, where she teaches courses on punishment, research methods, and courts and society, and coordinates the interdisciplinary Legal Studies minor. She received B.A., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from University of California, Santa Cruz in Social Psychology and an M.A. from Stanford University in Communication.
Much of her recent research examines penal/legal discourse and practices in a number of settings, especially focusing on the social and cultural dynamics of contemporary punishment. This work has been published in Law and Society Review, Law and Social Inquiry, Law and Human Behavior, Punishment and Society, among other journals and edited volumes. She is currently completing a book length manuscript, tentatively entitled "The making of a post-rehabilitative penal regime: A case study of Arizona 1950-present." The book aims to contribute to the growing body of work that seeks to understand what happened between the 1950s and the 1990s in penology by closely examining the developments in one key state where changes both in quality and scale of state punishment are clearly evident.

USAMy research deals with socio-legal issues in the United States and in other countries, particularly Thailand, where I have studied litigation, conflict, and legal consciousness. Recently, with Frank W. Munger, I published Rights of Inclusion: Law and Identity in the Life Stories of Americans with Disabilities, a study of the role of rights and rights consciousness following the enactment of a landmark civil rights law designed to benefit persons with disabilities. I am also co-author (with Carol Greenhouse and Barbara Yngvesson) of Law and Community in Three American Towns. I am now engaged in an interview-based study of injuries and social change in Thailand. A theme common to all of my research is the significance of cultural practices and legal consciousness for the workings of law and legal institutions.
