This volume focuses on teaching Classics in carceral contexts in
the US and offers an overview of the range of incarcerated adults,
their circumstances, and the ways in which they are approaching and
reinterpreting Greek and Roman texts. Classics and Prison Education
in the US examines how different incarcerated adults - male,
female, or gender non-conforming; young or old; serving long
sentences or about to be released - are reading and discussing
Classical texts, and what this may entail. Moreover, it provides a
sophisticated examination of the best pedagogical practices for
teaching in a prison setting and for preparing returning citizens,
as well as a considered discussion of the possible dangers of
engaging in such teaching - whether because of the potential
complicity with the carceral state, or because of the historical
position of Classics in elitist education. This edited volume will
be a resource for those interested in Classics pedagogy, as well as
the role that Classics can play in different areas of society and
education, and the impact it can have.
