Former prison manager Celia Lashlie is to
deliver a free public lecture at EIT Hawke’s Bay.
A writer, researcher and social justice advocate, Lashlie was the first woman in New Zealand to work in a custodial role in a male prison, starting at Rimutaka Prison in Upper Hutt in 1985. She worked within the prison system for 15 years, her last three as manager of Christchurch Women’s Prison.
Lashlie has written three books –The Journey to Prison: Who Goes and Why, followed by He’ll be Okay: Growing Gorgeous Boys into Good Men and The Power of Mothers: Releasing Our Children.
Her lecture, Finding the Matriarchs, will focus on the lives led by women at the centre of at-risk families and the power the matriarchs within these families hold to change the destiny of their children and grandchildren.
Included in the EIT public lecture series, the presentation will be on campus in Lecture Theatre 1 at 4pm on Thursday, 14 November.
