Prison Birth Project; Amherst, MA

I was able to learn about women living in poverty and all of the social, economic, political, and structural reasons why they struggle.
I would rate my placement as excellent and would recommend it to others, especially Sociology, Anthropology, STPEC, and Economics majors.

I would have liked to have a little more guidance during my placement. I understood that the organization was new, but more structure would have allowed me to work more confidently.

My advice to students pursuing a field experience placement is to be prepared to do a lot of work and to be a bit self-directed.
