| Abstract | Deborah Appleman will reconsider educational innovation by providing an example that demonstrates how communities of practice, even in the most restrictive environments and subaltern spaces (Foucault, 1995) can disrupt hierarchical power relations by providing creative opportunities and educational environments that offer agency and thus reposition locus of control. Using a teacher-research approach (Cochran-Smith, and Lytle, 2009), Appleman collected data from a creative writing class for adult offenders at a maximum-security prison The class was comprised of 15 men, ages 18-55, serving life, 12 of whom were incarcerated while still juveniles. She was the primary teacher for the course and had access to them for three hours per week for 16 weeks. In this particular learning context, the pedagogy of creative writing, with its emphasis on identity construction and narration, seems to provide the impetus for innovation, as the incarcerated writers reshaped their personal narratives and decided to claim personal power, to the degree that they were able to do so. They formed a collective to publish a book ("From the Inside Out: Letters to Young Men and Other Writing" 2009), held group sessions for aspiring writers, secured more creative writing opportunities for fellow inmates and created a restorative justice program that donated proceeds from their book to causes of healing and reparation. This study suggests that the dynamic power of cooperation and joint inquiry, inspired by creative endeavor, can create opportunities for innovation in the most proscribed environments. This finding should encourage the creation of more creative opportunities for the incarcerated, as means of locating agency and control within collaborative creative processes. (As Provided). |
