My Story: Ending mass incarceration

While a student, Daisy Wong participated in IAS faculty member Gary Carpenter’s “Arts of Social Transformation,” a mixed enrollment course at Monroe Correctional Complex, alongside incarcerated individuals. Says Wong, “As a Community Psychology major, this course was a culmination of everything that I had learned about systemic oppression, racism and how these mechanisms disproportionately affect black and brown communities.” The recent graduate is now pursuing a Master of Social Work at UW in Seattle.
