TAing Inside: As a teaching assistant (TA), your support is essential to the degree program at MCI-Concord, a medium-security men’s prison about a 30-40 minute drive from Tufts’ Medford Campus. Your job is to provide support to your faculty members and help facilitate learning inside through two-hour recitation sections each week. The recitation sections will take place on a different day than your faculty member’s class. You will be partnered with 1-3 other Tufts students who have a similar experience with and interest in the course material.
This is not volunteer labor as TAs earn a 4 credits for this work. Attending an additional class meeting on Fridays is required to earn this credit. Once accepted as a TA by your instructor, the TUPIT Director, and the MA DOC, you will be granted permission to register for CVS 0099: Internship for Social Change: Prison Justice Studies. There is also a graduate level section available for this course for graduate students.
