COR 306 2X - Convict Chrnicls: Prison Writng/Art

3 Credit(s)

It isn’t called “doing time” for nothing. As the hours and unrelenting sameness of routines press in on incarcerated men and women, some struggle, often in isolation, with fundamental questions: Who am I and who could I become? Why am I here? Can I be forgiven? How can I forgive myself? What are the needs and opportunities of the world - this world and that world? What is my role in building a just and compassionate world? The search for answers to these questions is often addressed through writing. Students would also explore prisoner art and music/spoken word and raw - other expressions of story.

Prerequisite(s): COR 1.
