Kaitlin Noss

Kaitlin is a long-time educator and participant in movements to abolish the prison industrial complex. Since 2018 she has brought these commitments to the NYU Prison Education Program as Executive Director. Prior to this she completed a master's degree in Adult Education and Community Development at the University of Toronto, and a doctorate in American Studies at New York University. From 2005 to 2013, she was trained as an anti-colonial researcher through the Maasai Education Research and Conservation Institute to support the return of Indigenous lands through legal cases and campaigns, and taught at Prescott College in Arizona as a founding member of the Social Justice and Community Organizing Program. She enjoys spending time in Prospect Park with her pup Zelda, at the queer end of Riis beach, and organizing with comrades for a free Palestine.
