Prison Renaissance at Stanford is supported by a Research Award grant from the Program in
Writing and Rhetoric and by the Hume Center for Writing and Speaking. Founded in Fall 2017,
the group brings together an interdisciplinary group of approximately 30 Stanford
undergraduates, graduate students, staff, and faculty who collaborate with people who are
currently incarcerated.
