About Your Professor
Professor Jason M. Leggett is an Assistant Professor in the Criminal Justice Program located in the Department of Behavioral Sciences. I have been teaching at Kingsborough since 2010 and have also taught at Barnard College in the Diversity Summer Program. I teach legal studies courses including Constitutional Law, the U.S. Judiciary, Introduction to Law and Society, and Environmental Law and Politics. I conduct social science research that focuses on the gap between formal legal language & processes and everyday understanding of legality. I am particularly interested in how people who experience injustice might mobilize using rights talk against those injustices. I have published articles about culturally responsive and sustaining teaching practices, civic learning & democratic engagement, equitable uses of technology in education, and legal mobilization. I have also worked as an advisor and organizers on social issues including homelessness, immigration, climate change, racism, reproductive rights, and educational equality.
