EdNet Forum: Prison Narratives: A Practice of Empathy and Human Dignity

IMPORTANT NOTE: This special session will now be hosted as part of the Compassionate Action Conference on May 14–15, and will take place on the RingCentral Events platform instead of Zoom.

Date: Thursday, May 15 @7:00am to 9am PT

With: Natalie Updike from Shorecrest Preparatory School

In English 12 Honors: Prison Narratives at Shorecrest Preparatory School in St. Petersburg, Florida, students enter a semester-long, senior elective to investigate twentieth- and twenty-first century autobiographies by imprisoned and formerly imprisoned people in the United States–the country with the highest imprisonment rate in the world.

This course also offers guest speakers and/or access to regional prison book organizations, particularly the Appalachian Prison Book Project. This non-profit, in particular, does not serve Florida, but the instructor has meaningful contacts within APBP, allowing student connections “beyond the page.”
