The idea for *Challenging the Complex* originated from a group of twelve students from five different Harvard schools with a passion for learning, teaching, and organizing around issues related to the prison-industrial complex. They shared similar frustrations with the lack of communication and connections across the Harvard schools and desired to create a space where interested and engaged students could connect, build together, and learn from each other’s efforts. *Challenging the Complex* provides a space where community members, students, and faculty can forge lasting connections, form meaningful coalitions, and gain a great deal of knowledge from sharing ideas, experiences, and resources.
