If you have a question about this talk, please contact Lucian Stephenson.

This seminar draws on observational data from two research studies in young offenders’ institutions and secure training centres to reflect on the role of the arts in youth custody. Liberating or confining? Transforming or passing time? These are the questions that will be considered in a discussion of how youth justice policies and the particularities of the secure setting shape the conceptual reach and delivery of arts education for young people in custody.
