THE CONVICTION PROJECT Seminar
 
A Faculty and Student Seminar
Fall 2005-Spring 2006

The Center for the Study of Women and Society (CSWS) hosts The Conviction Project, a biweekly seminar at the Graduate Center . The Conviction Project Seminar is an extension of our College and Community Fellowship (CCF), a program located at the Center for the Study of Women and Society (CSWS) for formerly incarcerated women who are pursuing higher education and are engaged in political organizing. For Fall 2005, the seminar continues to focus on issues of personal, moral, and political conviction in the context of education and incarceration and takes up scholarship from various disciplines, from the highly theoretical essay to the focused empirical study, along with literary texts, such as novels, films, and poetry. In doing so, the Seminar considers the conditions and experience of imprisonment in body, mind, and spirit - both within and outside of prisons, especially in relationship to the particulars of race, age, ethnicity, gender, class, and sexuality.
