The Program in Comparative Literature is proud to present:
‘Keepin’ It Real’ with ‘The Underground Book Railroad’:
Cultures of Reading in Women’s Prisons
Megan Sweeney, Assistant Professor of English and CAAS
Friday, March 9
12 – 1pm
2018 Tisch
“They lull us to sleep with romance!” So says an incarcerated woman in describing the library holdings in an Ohio prison. The widespread evisceration of prison libraries, coupled with the dismantling of educational and rehabilitative programs and the scarcity of counseling services, bespeaks a dehumanization of incarcerated men and women that makes it difficult to regard them as readers, let alone as human beings capable of deep thought, growth, and transformation.
Light refreshments will be served!
