Sylvester Johnson (Air Date: 10/11/2022)
from Stacks on Stacks: The Interviews Hosted by Stacks on Stacks
Stacks on Stacks welcomes Dr. Sylvester Johnson, Virginia Tech's Center for Humanities director. In this week's episode, Sylvester fills us in on the 4-week pilot humanities course that he taught to 10 prison inmates at the River North Correctional Center. This pilot course was not only a great success but is just the start of an ongoing initiative to determine how universities and colleges can make way for education in the U.S. carceral system. This pilot was made possible by the hard work of many people and groups, including the Coalition for Justice, the Department of Corrections, the Calhoun Honors Discovery Program, and ITHAKA.
