\r\n

The overall purpose of the 3rd International Conference on Persons Deprived of Liberty\u2019s Transformative Education for Successful Re-entry is to provide an annual opportunity for the higher education in prison community to gather minds, bringing together educators, administrators, students, alumni, practitioners, NGOs, lawmakers, law enforcers, judges, wardens, faith-based groups, and business leaders. With the theme, \u201cBeyond Barriers: Reconnect and Rebuild,\u201d the Conference aims to mobilize the talent, resources, and energy needed to expand access to quality higher education and reentry support services for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals. The Conference also serves as an opportunity for stakeholders to deliberate on the topics, issues, and ideas most relevant to higher education in the prison community. We envision the Conference as a sphere of knowledge exchange and an occasion to invigorate political conversations in the field.\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\nThe Conference is organized by the University of Southeastern Philippines (USeP) and the Social Entrepreneurship, Technology, and Business Institute (SETBI). \r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The 3rd International Conference on Persons Deprived of Liberty's Transformative Education for Successful Re-entry brings together researchers, academicians, scholars, government officials and workers, private agencies, and other cause-oriented participants.\u00a0 The conference highlights sharing information and research outputs from invited international experts and local researchers who will discuss relevant information and best practices related to College Education Behind Bars (CEBB).\u00a0\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\nOne of the aims of the conference is to mobilize the energy, talent, training, knowledge, wisdom, expertise, research, and experience related to higher education inside the prison community to expand access to quality higher education in prisons\/jails and to academic re-entry of support services for currently incarcerated and formerly incarcerated students. \r\n\r\nShow more...<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n \r\n

\r\n The theme \u201cBeyond Barriers:\u00a0 Reconnect and Rebuild\u201d opens doors for a broad range of presentation topics and to various possible presenters. The focus allows for aspirational, transformational, disruptive, and productive approaches. It provides a broad lens for considering inclusivity within higher education inside prisons\/jails. Most importantly, developing a model for people outside of prisons who work to go beyond the barriers, reconnect, and rebuild to bring higher education into prisons\/jails is an invitation for those who are currently confined inside to dream of being and thinking beyond the walls.\u00a0\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\nThe theme recognizes that barriers are a central and significant challenge for the work of higher education in the prison population: barriers to transition from prison to campus, barriers from prison to community, barriers within the prison for college programs, barriers between prison administrators and educators, barriers to funding, barriers for former PDLs to find the jobs, barriers to alleviate stigmas, and barriers to higher education in general. The theme sets forth the question, \u201cHow do we go beyond these barriers or obstacles?\u201d\u00a0\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWe envision the conference as a venue to address these barriers and other obstacles and, ultimately, to propose collaborations, partnerships, and strategies to move beyond these barriers by initiating productive, lively, and accessible conversations. We emphasize \u201cbeyond barriers\u201d because we also envision new ways to work together in a future with equitable access to excellent education inside and outside prisons and jails and with full opportunities for all people within prisons, which may mean alternatives to our current system.\u00a0\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\nWe invite and encourage a broad spectrum of papers from all community members, including, but not limited to, researchers, academic advisors, artists, college\/university administrators and faculty, students, community organizers, faith-based groups, formerly incarcerated PDLs, BJMP, and BuCor officials, practitioners and staff of higher education in prison, and re-entry service providers. For the third conference, we especially encourage papers highlighting collaboration, dialogue, community engagement, and creative expressions related to restoring dignity and achieving justice for the incarcerated.\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\nWe have identified six conference tracks relevant to higher education inside prisons and jails. All papers should connect to the conference theme \u201cBeyond Barriers: Reconnect and Rebuild\u201d as well as to the purpose of creating an inclusive stakeholder community committed to equitable access to quality education. \r\n \r\nShow less...<\/a><\/strong>\r\n <\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
