Brandon Erby (University of Kentucky)

Although mainstream narratives often depict people in jails and prisons as dangerous, violent, illiterate, and disposable, Erby’s public talk will reveal how incarcerated people build communities inside jails and prisons that counter these dominant portrayals of incarcerated individuals. Erby leads a podcasting workshop later in the afternoon.

This event is part of the Humanities Center’s 2024-2025 Syracuse Symposium series on “Community.”
