What Higher Education Offers Incarcerated Students (featuring Dr. Katie Owens-Murphy)

Today, we take a closer look at one of our most outreach-oriented programs. Dr. Katie Owens-Murphy serves as UNA's "Inside-Out" coordinator, working directly with people in prison to facilitate dialogue and education across profound social differences. Katie discusses the impact of the program and offers her perspective as an English professor on how language and the way we communicate with one another shape the world in which we all live. UNA Talks is a bi-weekly podcast from the University of North Alabama focusing on our outstanding faculty. At UNA Talks, we seek to gain their expert insights on various professional and academic topics while learning what makes their classrooms unique. The University of North Alabama offers a massive array of high value programs on campus and online taught be these and our many other talented professors. To learn more, visit una.edu/online.
