Dwayne Antojado is a Lecturer in Sociology and Criminology at the University of South Australia and a Visiting Scholar in the School of Government, Ateneo de Manila University, Philippines. Grounded in his own experience with Australia’s criminal legal system, his scholarship contributes to the emergent field of lived experience criminology by interrogating how lived experience knowledges unsettle orthodox criminological paradigms and foster epistemic justice. His current work examines the methodological, policy, and normative implications of incorporating lived experience expertise into criminal justice research, professional practice, and institutional policy. In parallel, his work offers a critical appraisal of the ways ‘lived experience’ can be appropriated, commodified, or collapsed into discourses within criminology without meaningfully and radically disrupting entrenched hierarchies of expertise. Collectively, his research seeks to reimagine the production of criminological and penological knowledge through the perspectives who have themselves been criminalised.
