POLI 148 SC - Study and Struggle: From Prison Education to Prisoner Solidarity
Study and Struggle is a community engagement course in which “outside” students collaborate with aligned community partner organizations to facilitate and participate in
correspondence-based inside/outside study groups with incarcerated students. While imprisoned people typically lack access to the materials, resources, and programming necessary to support
transformative education, Angela Davis reminds us that collective study can “create lines of communication between prisoners and [outside] students” that are crucial for developing agency
and self-determination in a context marked by extreme isolation and oppressive social control. Study and Struggle thus joins in a long tradition of collective study as prisoner solidarity work.
