Inside Out - Unmaking Prison Walls
From FH. The Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program brings college students inside a local prison to study the history of crime and punishment alongside incarcerated students. Reiko Hillyer, a history professor at Lewis & Clark, will discuss teaching the class, making a short documentary about it ("Classroom 4"), and the transformative effects of mutual dialogue and vulnerability while putting the class into broader historical context, demonstrating through her scholarly research that the exile of incarcerated people is a recent phenomenon. Her related book "A Wall is Just a Wall", has been featured on CNN and NPR.
What is Humanism?
Humanism is a way of life that guides us to be well and to do good without relying on anything supernatural. It's a progressive philosophy that embraces reason, compassion, and the pursuit of knowledge.
We welcome atheists, agnostics, truth-seekers, and anyone interested in exploring ethical living, critical thinking, and community building based on humanist principles.
Science & Reason
We value evidence-based thinking and scientific inquiry as paths to understanding our world.
Community
Building meaningful connections and supporting one another in our shared human experience.
Compassion
Promoting ethics, social justice, and care for all people through humanist values.
