Community Conversations
APAEP hosts a conversation on Zoom the first Wednesday of each month, moderated by an expert in the field of higher education in prison, re-entry services, women’s issues and incarceration, and other aspects of the carceral system. We aim to create a safe space to have discrete, ranging conversations about hard issues and complex topics, and to learn, create connections, seek answers, and imagine possibilities. We are excited to bring diverse experiences and perspectives to the Auburn community, in hopes of creating a more inclusive campus.
See below for a schedule of upcoming talks. All talks will use the link aub.ie/apaep.
The Warbler
The Warbler is a weekly educational newsletter physically distributed to over 1,000 current and former students in Alabama, in addition to students of other higher education and arts in prison programs across 28 states and 3 countries. Each issue explores a selected theme and presents readers with articles, puzzles, poems, inspiring messages, and more.
See below for a schedule of upcoming talks. All talks will use the link aub.ie/apaep.
The Warbler is intended for use inside of prisons to hand out to students, incorporate into coursework, and serve as a general educational and entertainment reading material.
If interested in adding your name to the national distribution list, please contact us.
See examples of former issues of The Warbler here.

A Note on Language
APAEP uses human-centered language. For example, we refer to our students as students, and individuals who have experienced incarceration as system-impacted or people who are currently/formerly incarcerated.
To learn more, and see other examples, please read this open letter from Eddie Ellis, Founder of Center for NuLeadership on Urban Solutions, the language guide created by the Underground Scholars Initiative, the “Words Matter” Initiative from The Fortune Society, and FWD.US’s People First Campaign.
