Correction: This item was published 1/6/06, incorrectly identifying Buzz Alexander as Buzz Spector: University of Michigan Professor Buzz Alexander was named a 2005 Professor of the Year by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education and The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Founder of the Prison Creative Arts Project, Alexander trains students to facilitate arts workshops at Michigan prisons, juvenile facilities and marginalized Detroit high schools. He said in his acceptance speech in D.C., "The students have entered my classes knowing there is something they must find out that no one has told them and realizing that the knowledge might change their lives. In the prisons, juvenile facilities, and community they encounter terrible pain and oppression, and they find wonderful creativity, resilience, and resistance. They learn the economics of incarceration. And they respond on their own terms." [LINK] Posted by Linda Frye Burnham
