In this event, the next in our Prison and Probation Seminar Series, we will be joined by Nicola Collett, DMU and Justin Williams, University of Brighton who will discuss the theme ‘hope’ as it relates to criminal records and life chances.
It is widely recognised that a criminal record can be a barrier for accessing a wide range of opportunities and services including employment, housing, insurance and international travel. This can be through formal legislation and policy, or through more informal stigma and discrimination. Experiencing exclusion and/or discrimination can have affective implications for an individual, and lead to self-exclusion from legitimate opportunities.
Reflecting on this, this seminar will ask ‘who is responsible for facilitating hope?’ and discuss how this might look like drawing on their PhD research.
Join us for this insightful seminar chaired by Dr Victoria Knight which will be followed by a Q&A session.
