On this Upstate Anecdote, we take a look at Furman's new program, where undergrads go inside a maximum-security prison in Pickens, South Carolina to study creative writing alongside the men incarcerated there.

Students from Furman University's Shi Institute for Sustainable Communities host the series Upstate Anecdotes. This podcast seeks to further social equity by highlighting social justice and environmental issues through storytelling.
The Shi Institute for Sustainable Communities strives to promote sustainable communities that are socially just and equitable, environmentally sound and resilient, and economically viable across the Southeast through cultivating and connecting sustainability leaders, conducting and applying breakthrough sustainability research, and designing innovative ways to teach and learn about sustainability.

We are proud of the work they have done and their dedication to raising awareness about important community issues.
