Punishment: The American Story

This Institute will address three questions about punishment that go to the heart of humanistic inquiry and are perennial sources of lively debate.

 

1) What is punishment and why do we punish as we do?

2) What can we learn about politics, law, and culture in the United States from an examination of our practices of punishment?

3) What are the limits of punishment?

 

This is a 3 week, residential program for K-12 educators.
