Couldn’t be more grateful to join @USCGouldLaw community as a tenure-track professor — first week of teaching ✅. Learn more about my teaching and research (including my latest articles!) at the link below.
For #USCGould Professor @TerryLeoAllen, his area of research is rooted in lived experience: How do we confront legal and institutional practices that, under the guise of reform, continue to marginalize the very children they purport to improve? Learn more: gould.law/45QByJP
When in community, everything is made better! Presented my article “Not Separate But Still Unequal” (forthcoming in NYU Law Review) at my first faculty workshop as a new faculty member. Exactly where I’m supposed to be.
#USCGould Professor Terry Allen presented his work on policing in school settings during last week's Faculty Workshop series. #GouldDiscourse
A look into the ties between schools, neighborhoods, and school police departments. One of my latest pieces — read it here:
Who is affected by increased police presence in schools? This study from @TerryLeoAllen and Kimberly Gomez (@uclaseis) shows how “spatial enclosures” shape Black students’ daily experience, control over time, and educational experiences doi.org/10.1093/socpro/spad0…
Excited to see my job market paper published in @GeorgetownLJ. I use spatial and qualitative analysis to help rethink the role of police in schools.
Many thanks to the faculty who provided invaluable feedback along the way.

Professor @TerryLeoAllen of @uvalaw provides one of the first mixed methods empirical analyses of Black students’ experiences with school policing in majority-white schools and proposes reform to reduce the harm caused by such policing. bit.ly/glj-spatial
I’m excited to announce that I've accepted a tenure-track position as Assistant Professor of Law at @USCGouldLaw, starting July 2025! None of this would be possible without my community of mentors, and the colleagues I’ve met along the way.
Go Trojans! #USC

📢 NEW PUBLICATION ✨🚨
I am delighted to share my latest article, “Navigating Spatial Enclosures.” The article examines the puzzle of why the cycle of thrusting students into the criminal justice system continue to persist throughout U.S. public schools. bit.ly/47OjEWF

Last year, I finished law school. I was able to walk across the stage over the weekend — Terry Allen, Ph.D., J.D. – at Los Angeles, CA
I am thrilled to share the publication of my article titled “A Web of Punishment” in @ERjournal_AERA with @PedroANoguera. In the paper, we demonstrate that interactions between students and police follow distinct patterns with respect to race and space.
