Hartnett’s presentation focuses on a route toward social justice based on pedagogies of empowerment in both prisons and communities impacted by prisons. His presentation will include poetry, imagery, and music, and will invite spirited feedback from the audience.

Hartnett is professor and chair of the Department of Communication at the University of Colorado Denver, where he is the editor of “Captured Words/Free Thoughts,” an annual magazine of poems and stories crafted by imprisoned writers.

He is a co-founder of PCARE—a group of national scholars focused on prison communication, activism, research, and education.

He has received numerous awards including the Northwest Communication Association’s 2008 Human Rights Award, and the University of Colorado’s 2010 Thomas Jefferson Award.

In addition, Hartnett is the author or editor of eight books and dozens of publications related to democracy, social justice, prisons, globalization and empire, and the death penalty.
