Recenzijas
This inspiring collection offers timely pedagogical, ethical, and practical considerations to not only expand access to education inside, but also to transform universities and realize educations liberatory potential. -- Cesraéa Rumpf, Associate Director, Gender & Womens Studies, University of Illinois Chicago, USA With essays from historians, policymakers, educators, researchers, and lawyers, this volume offers a comprehensive examination of an important and under-examined topic: education for incarcerated people. Drawing from the voices and perspectives of formerly incarcerated people, those who are providing education to incarcerated people, and other data and research, the volume sheds useful light on the benefits of education for justice-impacted people, the characteristics of available education, and approaches for improving this education. Together, the essays provide useful insights for policy, practice, and future research. -- Laura W. Perna, GSE Centennial Presidential Professor of Education and Founding Executive Director of the Alliance For Higher Education and Democracy (Ahead), University Of Pennsylvania, USA
