About this episode
Today we introduce you to a model program that is making a real difference. The Tufts University Prison Initiative of Tisch College (TUPIT) provides transformative educational experiences for incarcerated and on-campus students and faculty in an environment that encourages bold critical thinking, higher levels of civic engagement, and a greater sense of community. TUPIT aims to facilitate creative and collaborative responses to the problems of mass incarceration, fostering students’ and faculty members’ capacities to become active citizens of change.
Joining us to tell more of the story is Dr. Hilary Binda, Founder and Executive Director of the Tufts University Prison Initiative (TUPIT). Hilary has a PhD in English Literature and teaches Literature, Gender Studies, and Carceral Studies at Tufts and in the degree program at MCI-Shirley and Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center. David Delvalle is the Education and Reentry Director for TUPIT. A true success story, he has become a leader in prison reform, education, and restorative justice, transforming his community after his own incarceration.
