Roundtable: Convict Criminology Roundtable #1: Teaching with Lived Carceral Experience

Session Submission Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract/Description

How instructors with legal conviction related system-contact navigate the classrooms of higher education This roundtable seeks to explore how instructors with legal convictions or legal conviction related system contact (incarcerated family and loved ones) navigate the college classroom. Based on the developing research of system-contacted scholars, Dr. Grant Tietjen and Dr. Doris Schartmueller, from their working paper, Teaching Strategies of System Affected Academics, discussions will include how lived experience influences teaching methodologies and how students react to lived experience, possible resistance from academic institutions, and the question of disclosing lived experiences as an instructor. We will also talk about how intersectional oppression/bias impacts the teaching experiences of instructors with carceral lived experience. We look forward to an engaging conversation, as we unpack the complexities, value, and potential contained within teaching with lived carceral experience.
