Morser's course "Adventures in Public History: The Prison Project" had a group of students interview inmates and employees from the former Mt. McGregor Prison in Wilton, N.Y. That led in turn to the exhibition States of Incarceration at the Tang Museum. The Tang exhibit was also covered by the web newsletter ArtDaily.
