*Amplifying Access was the original theme of the 10th Annual NCHEP Conference (which was canceled in 2020 due to the global health crisis).
Keynote session: Tuesday March 2, 2021 at 7pm ET
Learn more about Dr. Bettina Love, Virtual NCHEP’s Keynote Speaker.
Welcome to the Virtual NCHEP. As a participant in this conference, we ask that before registering for events you review the Alliance's Statement on Language:
The Alliance believes that language is a powerful tool in shaping the culture and narrative in the field of higher education in prison, and in society as a whole. With this in mind, and drawing upon the rich history of work that has previously been engaged on this topic, we want to express our opposition to the usage of terms that are rooted in a history of violent and oppressive systems. Along with a vast majority of our community members, we share the view that terms such as “prisoner,” “inmate,” “offender,” “convict” and “felon” are stigmatizing, dehumanizing, discriminatory, and continue to enact violence and do not acknowledge an individual’s full identity. We consider it standard practice to abstain from such language, unless you have experienced incarceration and choose to self-identify as such. Read the full statement
