How can communities divided by space, time, and resources collaborate to foster deeper self and societal awareness? How can one learning community’s writing practice contribute to another community’s learning process? These questions are being explored by students at UGA and incarcerated students enrolled in Common Good Atlanta’s higher education program. This correspondence facilitates a scholarly conversation about the humanities and its role in our personal and collective lives. In this informative session, Dr. Young will introduce her work and its impact. She will talk about prior collaborations, one the communities are currently working on, and engage attendees in broader brainstorms about future OLLI collaboration.
