About the Author
Thana Ridha obtained her Master of Arts in Criminology from the University of Ottawa where she conducted original research on prison theatre in Canada. Her SSHRC funded research and prize nominated thesis represents the first Criminological examination of Canada’s long-standing prison theatre, William Head on Stage. Thana’s primary research focus is on the use of arts-based initiatives within prison and correctional settings. Alongside this interest, Thana has conducted a range of criminological and correctional research, while also having participated in various presentations and international conferences. Through her role as a researcher with the Correctional Service of Canada, Thana conducted a range of research projects on correctional interventions, operations, and Indigenous-centered approaches. Notably, Thana led a research project examining the experiences of incarcerated men at Indigenous Healing Lodges. Thana is currently a Senior Program Officer at the National Headquarters of Correctional Service of Canada where she oversees projects and initiatives related to correctional program. She is also an Instructor at the Institute of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Carleton University where she teaches courses on research methods as well as seminars related to the criminal justice system.
