This edition of Prison Service Journal combines articles by serving prisoners, academics, and those that straddle both worlds, on the theme of collaborative knowledge and research.
The edition was guest edited by Professor Shadd Maruna (University of Liverpool), Paula Harriott (Prison Reform Trust), and Dr Helen Nichols (University of Hull).
The intention is what the editors describe as “equitable epistemology”: an approach to knowledge creation that incorporates academic inquiry and personal lived experiences, without hierarchical structure, to create inclusive and emancipatory ways of knowing.
