Navjyot Gill
Navjyot Gill is a first year doctoral student in the department of Criminology, Law and Society. She graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with Honors and received her B.A. in History, Ethnic Studies and Education. Raised in Southeast Bakersfield, Navjyot first handedly witnessed her neighborhood change and transform into one of the deadliest zip codes in Kern County. This fueled her research interests and led her to write an Honors thesis titled, “The Walking Bus: Cycles of Poverty and Educational Inequities Among Students of Color and Immigrant Communities in Kern County.” Her research interests include spatial analysis of crime, social and economic inequities in racially segregated neighborhoods and its role in resource allocation, education and violence.
