Social Justice Praxis within the Walls to Bridges Program: Pedagogy of Oppressed Federally Sentenced Women2015 •
Based on my personal experiences with the Walls to Bridges (W2B) program (formerly Inside-Out Canada), I have found a renewed value and meaning in education while incarcerated and I argue that the W2B program is an example of social justice praxis. Furthermore, my involvement with the W2B program has transformed my carceral experience from one that is oppressive to feeling empowered and valued as a person. Additionally, I have been able to maintain an ongoing and meaningful connection with the community through my involvement with the program. I begin this paper by providing a brief overview of W2B, including my experience with the program. Next, I connect literature concerning three distinct forms of oppression; namely, dehumanization/objectification, disempowerment and self-depreciation, as well as the importance of social intervention to personal experience. Thirdly, I integrate relevant literature with reflections on my own experiences to highlight W2B’s commitment to three key themes: transformational education, social justice, and maintaining a sense of community and connection. Finally, I briefly outline several key barriers to education in prison to illustrate some of the challenges and limitations of the W2B program.

Imagination Practices and Community-Based LearningInformed by my experiences in prison/university co-learning projects, this essay centres two community-based learning practices worth cultivating. First, what can happen when all participants truly prioritize what it means to build community as they address their shared project, co-discovering new ways of being and doing together, listening receptively and speaking authentically? How can project facilitators step beyond prescribed roles embedded in the charity paradigm of service-learning to invite and support egalitarian community and equity-driven decision-making from a project’s inception and development, through its unfolding and its assessment? Second, the sheer fact of a project taking place in the marginal place between two contexts gives all participants—students, faculty, community participants and hosts—the opportunity for meta-reflection on the institutional logics that construct and constrain our perspectives so acutely. What can we do, by way of project-conception and p...

Picturing creative approaches to social work research: Using photography to promote social change2016 •
INTRODUCTION: This article argues for the benefits of employing the arts-based method known as photovoice. Drawn from a social work PhD project with 12 South Australian exprisoners, this research aimed to better understand the post-release experiences within the context of a rising prison population and high recidivism rates.METHODS: Participants were given a single-use camera and the research question if you had 15 minutes with a policy maker or politician, what would you want to tell them about your experience? Later, the participants’ narratives were combined with the photographs and used to create an art exhibition with the rationale that images are more likely to resonate with people than words alone.FINDINGS: Using photovoice in this way has the potential to create new knowledge through the process of participants constructing and retelling accounts of their experiences via the medium of photography.CONCLUSION: I propose that the process of turning research into praxis through...

In their clarion calls for emancipation and demands for reparations, Black political prisoners open a dimension in Diaspora studies that could benefit from investigating the effects of the prison industrial complex, especially in the heart of the Empire of the 21st Century. I argue that prisons in the U.S. are diasporic sites for Black men and women. For the purposes of this paper, “Diaspora” refers to involuntary “scattering” of a group of people because of perceived threats, such as pogroms and lynching, against members of their group and because of incarceration (“forced marches” to the prison citadel).
