Join us for a community conversation on Education Behind the Wall: Why and How We Teach College in Prison (Brandeis University Press 2022)! 

Composed of case studies chapters articulating issues of power differentials in the classroom, education in social context, as well as the logistics of teaching inside, the book provides essential guidance for faculty, administrators, and students interested in education in prisons, while also placing the work of higher education in prisons in philosophical context on issues such as race, economics, and gender. Hear from panelists on topics ranging from the politics of compromise to program accreditation and curricular design, with administrator, faculty, and student perspectives.
