Ep. 55 Is One Question Enough? A Holistic Approach to Studying Health and Reentry (and publishing with your bestie) with BFFs Chantal Fahmy and Meghan Mitchell

The Criminology Academy

This week we have an exciting episode! Good friends of TCA and real life besties, Chantal Fahmy, a professor at University of Texas-San Antonio's Department of Criminology & Criminal Justice, and Meghan Mitchell, a professor at the University of North Dakota's Department of Criminal Justice, talk to Jenn and Jose about their work on prison reentry and health. Specifically, we discuss why using one question to study people's health may not be enough. They also discuss healthcare while incarcerated and what some of the factors for success or unsuccessful reentry might be. Finally, we close the episode with a chat on what it's like to publish with your best friend.
