Inside-Out classes take place inside a prison, with an equal number of campus-based students and incarcerated (“inside”) students. Classes are discussion based and have had an incredibly positive impact on both the outside and inside students. Because of the drive time to Salem and the process of entering and leaving the institution, the total time involved is 4pm – 10pm one day each week. The class itself goes from 6:00-8:30. The two spring term classes are:
- LS 410 “Legal Studies Hard Cases: Physician Assisted Suicide” with Professor Robert Rocklin on Tuesdays at the Oregon State Penitentiary
- HC 444/431H “Autobiography as Political Agency” with Professor Anita Chari on Mondays at the Oregon State Correctional Institution (Note: limited to Honors College students)
You can learn more about the classes here.
Applications should be completed via this link.
Applications are due February 18th for Autobiography as Political Agency and February 19th for Legal Studies. The application process includes an interview. We anticipate significant interest, and look forward to your application.
There are optional information sessions for each class—please attend if you are interested in the specific class, or in Inside-Out classes in general.
