Clare Anderson’s research reframes penal transportation as a fundamental "engine of global change" and imperial expansion, rather than merely a precursor to modern incarceration. A proposed paper, The Carceral Archipelago , can explore this via themes of unfree labor, state building, and the role of convict knowledge in scientific production. For comprehensive details, see the overview at Cambridge Core .
