New Podcast Release | Transfer Tea
S04E04 | Mobility Without Wi-Fi: Rethinking Access in Prison Education Programs
In this episode of Transfer Tea, we explore the operational, ethical, and mobility challenges institutions face when delivering academic programs inside correctional facilities. If learning mobility is about continuity of opportunity, then it must include students whose movement is restricted. This conversation challenges higher education professionals to rethink infrastructure, policy, and design — and to ensure that opportunity does not stop at a prison wall.
