Inside out Pedagogy: A Praxis for Social Policy
Xavier Perez; Coray Ames Hoffner
Metropolitan Universities, v36 n1 p88-103 2025
This paper examines the Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program's pedagogy as a praxis for transformative learning and social change, with a particular focus on the role of incarcerated students in shaping public policy. It explores how an Inside-Out approach cultivates a learning environment rooted in critical thinking, reflection, collaboration, and inclusivity. This paper demonstrates how incarcerated students can contribute to the broader discourse and challenge conventional perceptions of incarceration. By centering the voices of incarcerated students, Inside-Out pedagogy fosters student agency and offers alternatives to current paradigms of punishment.
