Women,Gender,Sexuality Studies 692W - S-Teaching/Carceral Spaces 1

This course is centered on teaching and learning in carceral spaces and on the study of mass incarceration, criminalization, and the analysis of gendered racial capitalism in the U.S. Students will be trained to offer individualized tutoring sessions that support the academic goals of students in the Hampshire County Jail and the Franklin County Jail; they will engage in research in the field of critical prison studies, social justice education, and carceral pedagogy and they will explore broad questions around equity and access to education in prison and jail. Students in this course will develop the knowledge, experience, and practical skills to support justice in education and to work with others to imagine, advocate for, and build a more just society in which all people, regardless of their circumstance, have access to quality higher education. Part I of this course (fall semester) is research-intensive and requires site-specific orientation, specialized training, and the completion of jail clearance
