Project poster

Freedom Education Project Puget Sound is a nonprofit that provides a higher education program at the Washington Corrections Center for Women. The accredited program previously offered a research skills course that gave first-year students the skills necessary to conduct academic research in a context where there is no access to the internet or academic resources. This project is a re-visioning of the research instruction program that involved building information literacy workshops into a required first-year course by creating and delivering a new curriculum. It is part of a broader effort to expand the research program for FEPPS students.
