Title:  

"He's a Smooth Talker Like Me": Reading Shakespeare with Juvenile Offenders

 

Description: 

For six years Dr. Stacy Erickson-Pesetski has brought Shakespeare into a variety of prisons in Indiana, Michigan, and Illinois. This talk will focus on her most recent adventure reading plays with male offenders ages 13-18 at Logansport Juvenile Correctional Facility in Indiana. Bringing Shakespeare into prisons gives us insight into the universality of these centuries-old texts as well as the talent and empathy hidden in our correctional facilities.
