<b>Keynote speaker Bruce Western</b> is Professor of
Sociology and Director of the Malcolm Wiener Center for
Social Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.
Western's recent work has focused on the link between social
inequality and the growth of prison and jail population in
the United States. He finds that the penal system has become
a common presence in the lives of poor Americans, with
lasting effects on their life chances.<br>
