  • Building Community for Early Career Prison Researchers
    The network is open to anyone working in or around prisons and carceral institutions, across disciplines, who is in their PhD or in the early stages of their career. We welcome people who are looking for community, people who want to connect with others in the field, and people who simply want a group cheering them on in the background. That sense of mutual support matters deeply to me.
