This term, the University of Oregon Prison Education Program has continued to work to provide our students with the opportunity to take classes amidst COVID-19 lockdowns. Throughout the winter term students have had the opportunity to take
- GEOG 410/510: Geography of the US/Mexico Borderlands – Taught by Scott Warren
- CHN 410/410: Contemporary Chinese Literature: Reading and Study of Mo Yan’s Novel Life and Death are Wearing Me Out – Taught by Stephen Durrant

- CLAS 301: Greek and Roman Epics – Taught by Mary Jaeger
- SOC 410/510: Race, Gender, and Poverty in the United States – Taught by Ellen Scott
While these courses were all conducted remotely in order to comply with Department of Corrections’ regulations, they have offered the opportunity to take classes in four prisons across the state of Oregon to 94 students.
Moving into spring term, we are planning the first in-person class in over two years, and we are hopeful that this trend will continue into the fall term of 2022.
