| Summary: | This article focuses on people pursuing higher education while incarcerated. It aims at understanding, through a life-course sociology approach, to what extent the involvement in a university course reflects a shift or even a biographical rupture for some student-inmates. It demonstrates how the concept of « identity conversion» is workable to deconstruct such processes. This process of self-transformation is grasped through the analysis of individual trajectories and of the events and people inmates have met during their academic, professional, family and prison life. |
