Why Do You Want to Work with Dangerous Scum?--OLLI (50+)
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at U-M
Speakers: “Buzz” Alexander, Professor of English Language and Literature, U-M
and “Janie” Paul, Professor of Art and Social Work, U-M
We ask our university students this question at a retreat at the beginning of classes, We wish to talk in depth about this challenge and talk about what actually happens when our students go to their workshops in Detroit high schools, youth facilities, and prisons. We will speak about our pedagogy, the transformative experience most of our students have working in these institutions, mass incarceration and why and how it matters to all of us, specific individuals, and the Prison Creative Arts Project, which is entering its 24th year. We will show images from the Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners and talk about this largest prison art exhibition in the world.
