The British Academy 10-Minute Talks: Philosophy in prison

The world’s leading professors explain the latest thinking in the humanities and social sciences in just 10 minutes. 

If a society is measured by how it treats its worst off, we have reason to think hard and well about how we manage the lives of those in prison. Philosophy – in particular, the collaborative doing of philosophy – has here a role to play. Join M. M. McCabe as she explores how introducing philosophical discussion into prisons may matter.
