A Multidisciplinary Exploration of the Impacts of Incarceration on Individuals, Families, and Communities will feature a panel format of graduate scholars and Center Staff from the UW-Madison School of Human Ecology to discuss the impact of incarceration, and the historic phenomenon of mass incarceration, on individuals, families, and communities. With perspective from various Human Ecology departmental areas, themes of designed environments and incarceration settings; children and families of incarcerated individuals; the historic impact of mass incarceration on particular communities; health impacts of incarceration; activism surrounding the incarceration phenomenon; and ways that the community and scholarship can make positive change -- will all be explored. Audience participation will be welcomed.
