'Blue-Sky Thinking' Seminar Series on Education and Criminal Justice

This seminar is the third in this series.

The series aims to re-establish the Centre for Education and Criminal Justice as the knowledge exchange hub for practitioners, policymakers and researchers to collaborate on collecting, improving, and disseminating the best and most promising evidence and practice in the field and internationally. It gives researchers and practitioners a space to discuss the 'blue-sky thinking' in education and criminal justice that is much needed in the current system.

Other seminars in the series

• Deficits to assets: Re-imagining a strength-based model of prison education
• Crime prevention: Where do we start and end?
• Prison life and creative arts: What can they offer to enhance education?
