Honored to be able to teach in the @NUPrisonEd Program. My @MedillSchool class, Documenting #Carceral Injustice, collaborates with #incarcerated students to create humanizing portraits of their lives in the form of short documentaries.

So incredibly HONORED to be part of the second Northwestern #Prison Education Program (@NUPrisonEd) graduation on Monday.

I was so very proud of my students who accepted their diplomas in front of their families, peers, and faculty.
(I was in tears most of the time!)
