Summer recap: Jeffreys visits Chile for lectures, TED Talk

It was a busy summer for Prof. Derek Jeffreys, who traveled in August to Chile as part of a partnership UW-Green Bay has developed with the Universidad del Desarrollo. Jeffreys, Humanistic Studies (Philosophy and Religion), presented ethics lectures and seminars at the University, and met with various scholars there. He also visited the El Manzano Prison, meeting with inmates and staff (Log readers may recall this area of scholarship; Jeffreys’ most recent book is titled “Spirituality in Dark Places: The Ethics of Solitary Confinement”). In addition, Jeffreys delivered a TED Talk at Concepción that focused on his experiences teaching at the Green Bay Correctional Institution. See the video.
