The Carceral Studies Consortium will host an educational gathering of faculty and staff on August 28th from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. via Zoom.
The event is a time for OU faculty and staff who are doing work in the realm of Carceral Studies to learn more about the work their fellow colleagues are doing, provide feedback on which programming, events, and resources would be most helpful for the CSC to provide, share collaboration opportunities, and gauge faculty interest in affiliating with the Consortium in the coming year.
During the event there will also be a book drive for the Eddie Warrior Correctional facility in Taft, Oklahoma. Please note that books must be purchased via an online “wish list.”
For questions or to request accommodations, please contact Angela Person (a@ou.edu).
