Worried about what topics will get served at Thanksgiving dinner? If the conversation turns from pie to prisons or from cranberries to crime, we’ve got you covered.

He’s the best co-writer but his spelling is terrible. It’s been nice to get back to my original research/dissertation and to be able to explain things thoroughly without article length restrictions!

Like other said, take some time to regather your thoughts. If the topic is something you definitely want to stick to, maybe keep reading and find gaps and suggestions for future research you can work from. Best of luck!

The only time I cared was when a student replied to my email about their 100% AI generated paper with an email also written by chatGPT.

Locked Out: Democracy Behind Bars Ahead of the presidential election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, a special series on voting in prison and after.

In Sept & October, Prison Journalism Project published stories from incarcerated writers about the millions of people in prison and out of prison with felony convictions, who don't have the right to vote. Check out our Locked Out series.

I love the Design Emergency podcast so it was an honour to be asked to record an episode with Alice Rawsthorn to share my thoughts on the design of prisons and talk about my research, my new book, and my next project. Available open.spotify.com/show/5csNyfo... or wherever you get your podcasts

David Farrington 1944-2024 | BPS A tribute from Graham Towl.

My mentor passed away last week. As a scared grad student far far from home, I found reassurance and inspiration in his presence. I hope to keep his spirit alive as I guide my own PhD students into the world of academia.
