Dr Ruth Armstrong, a British Academy post-doctoral fellow in the Institute of Criminology and Dr Amy Ludlow, a lecturer in the Faculty of Law, have collaborated on a research project addressing the delivery of education in the prison sector. Their project, Learning Together, pioneered a new approach to prison education where the end-users, the prisoners, are directly engaged with the design, delivery and evaluation of the research intervention. Adopting this shared dialogue approach has yielded positive results in terms of prisoners learning outcomes and has gathered praise from prison staff and government policy makers. Through continued engagement and partnership working, Dr Armstrong and Dr Ludlow have managed to expand their initiative across a broad range of sites and institutional contexts that has ultimately improved the depth and robustness of their future research.
