Bio/CV:
Yen-Tung Lin is a Ph.D. candidate in the Jurisprudence and Social Policy Program at the University of California, Berkeley. He researches how international human rights law shapes the use of solitary confinement in three penal regimes: Taiwan, Denmark, and California, relying primarily on in-depth interviews with activists, lawyers, political leaders, and prison staff on how they make sense of human rights law, and what effects the law eventually has. Before becoming a Ph.D. student at UC Berkeley in 2018, he obtained an MA in sociology and worked as a human rights activist in Taiwan.
