Writing Through Prison: Storytelling, Power, and Community

About This Event

Former students of the Education Justice Project share their experiences, reflecting on the transformative role of writing and higher education—both inside and beyond prison. Attendees will learn how they have drawn on these experiences to build a life on the outside. Following the hybrid talk (7-8 p.m.), in-person participants will take part in a writing workshop (8-9 p.m.) CART Service will be provided.
