Abstract

Edwin Schreeche-Powell’s low opinion of The Open University is transformed when he realises he has given too much weight and value to ill-informed opinion and not enough to real experience. Abandoning this prejudice is the beginning of a learning journey in prison that takes him from undergraduate studies to a PhD. Connecting his learning about sociological research in prison to his own experiences of imprisonment provide Edwin with the possibilities of an academic evolution and a sense of belonging.
