Although educational research indicates that undergraduate student participation in research, fieldwork, and/or community engagement has great value, there remains a dearth of information on student outcomes from participation in these activities.

Going beyond the static, dangerous version of a single story about who an African child inmate is, is an ethical responsibility -- especially when we consider the structural and material forces that are tangled in this evil deed.
