Trinity classes behind bars: teaching and learning in jails and prisons
For more than a decade, Trinity has offered college classes to incarcerated students. What is the value of teaching liberal arts in jails and prisons? What is it like to teach and learn in those settings? In this lunchtime panel discussion, we will hear from the co-directors of Trinity’s Prison Education Project (TPEP). The panel will be followed by an interactive Q&A.
