Faculty Talks Outside the Box: Healing Justice Beyond Walls

For over a decade, Associate Professor Angela Bryant, PhD, offered a course every year inside a men's prison with an equal number of university and incarcerated students. Alumni from these classes, some of whom are still incarcerated totally 400 years collectively, and other justice-involved colleagues co-authored and edited the 10-chatper book Healing Justice Beyond Walls: Trapped Inside the U.S. Prison Industrial Complex. Utilizing a transformative justice framework and street participatory action research (PAR), the book centers on the voices of justice-involved persons and focuses on decarceration strategies and policies that foster support for penal abolition. 

This event is free and open to the public.
