Book Launch and Faculty Panel
Grant Tietjen, Ph.D.
Associate Professor, School of Social Work & Criminal Justice, UW Tacoma
Since the 1990s, the community of scholar-activists who have had contact with the criminal legal system has grown rapidly, solidifying into an international movement. Drawing on in-depth conversations with system-affected academics as well as his own experience with incarceration, Grant E. Tietjen traces the history, positive impacts, and future promise of this movement in his new book.
By offering networks of support to system-affected people seeking higher education and using the perspectives afforded them by their lived experiences to push their disciplines forward, the movement effects reciprocal changes between the individual and the entire institution of higher education.
Join us for a panel discussion with Dr. Tietjen and other scholars in the field.
