The Inspiring Futures programme is a four-year collaboration between the University of Cambridge Institute of Criminology and the National Criminal Justice Arts Alliance. Working with partner organisations who have provided creative activities in prisons and community justice settings, the ESRC-funded research has been an evaluation of the meaning and impact of arts in criminal justice settings. To see some examples of the creative work involved, take a look at the Inspiring Futures online exhibition.
At this one-day conference, the research team (Professor Loraine Gelsthorpe, Dr Caroline Lanskey & Dr Sarah Doxat-Pratt) will share findings from their research and invite responses from scholars and practitioners. The day will include time for discussion and Q&A, as well as opportunities for networking and finding out more about the creative work involved in the Inspiring Futures project. A full schedule will be released nearer the time.
