Book Launch and Faculty Panel Grant Tietjen, Ph.D. Associate Professor, School of Social Work & Criminal Justice, UW Tacoma Since the 1990s, the community of scholar-activists who have had contact with the criminal legal system has grown rapidly, solidifying into an international movement. Drawing on in-depth conversations with system-affected academics as well as his own experience with incarceration, Grant E.
