Inside-Out as a Model for Constructive Dialogue

April 26, 2024

All six members of the Pitzer College community who gathered to speak at Benson Auditorium agreed on one thing: The best classes they’ve taken weren’t at any of the Claremont Colleges, but in prison. 

On April 22, Pitzer hosted “Inside-Out as a Model for Constructive Dialogue,” a panel reflecting on 10 years of the college’s program, as a part of the Presidential Initiative on Constructive Dialogue. The panel, moderated by professor of political studies and Inside-Out Instructor Nigel Boyle, featured professors and former students of Inside-Out classes. The group explored the liberatory nature of education inside prisons and discussed how to carry that transformative approach to community-building and pedagogy to the rest of Pitzer’s curriculum.
