Course Description:
In this course we will examine selected human rights issues through a multi-disciplinary approach that includes readings, discussion, journal writing, site visits and art-making. This semester's study will look at life behind the razor wire-what are the human rights issues that emerge in the world of the incarcerated? Topics included in our investigation will be mass incarceration, sentencing, collateral damage, rehabilitation vs. punishment, gender-specific issues and the impact of the arts on prisoners and the institution of prison. |
