Upcoming Programs
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.
View DetailsAuthoritarianism and the Lure of Certainty
Over Zoom. Gordon Gamm, a lawyer who has represented most of the major humanist organizations in the United States in state and federal courts and the U.S. Supreme Court, will discuss why authoritarianism is found attractive by some people, as described in his article in the Spring 2026 humanist magazine at this link: https://thehumanist.com/magazine/spring-2026/features/faith-authority-and-the-lure-of-certainty. He may also address Supreme Court reform. (First Sundays start with 1/2 hour of music, offer childcare, and may run until noon.)
