Fixing Mississippi’s broken parole system.
Mississippi Today
Mississippi has the highest incarceration rate in the country – and one of the highest in the world, locking up a larger percentage of its population than any independent democratic country on earth. Often people incarcerated in the state are forced to serve far longer sentences than they should. “Parole isn’t a bonus or ‘early’ release. It is part of a person’s sentence, carried out under state supervision,” explains Lewis & Clark Professor Reiko Hillyer. “Yet in Mississippi, parole increasingly functions as extended punishment.”

A $1.5 million investment in solving real-world problems.
OPB (Oregon Public Broadcasting)
A $1.5 million grant from the Mellon Foundation will support co-creation of courses, programs, and creative work by residents of Albina (Portland’s historically Black neighborhood) and Lewis & Clark faculty and students, to address racial justice, environmental justice, and cultural preservation. “One of the most courageous things that anyone can do is commit to learning with other people, because it requires building trust,” notes Winta Yohannes, the executive director of Albina Vision Trust. “The real opportunity is that the history, the storytelling, and the culture of the Albina district will be used to make sense of where we are today and where we want to go together.”

Ancient and resilient, moss are flowerless, non-vascular plants that have survived for more than 450 million years, through different climactic conditions. Studying and celebrating these tiny habits brings “joy and discovery and awe and wonder,” explains Lewis & Clark Professor Margaret Metz, as we look closely to learn more about how ecosystems can flourish.

Can a state law keep a private equity firm from firing trusted physicians?
Eugene Register-Guard
Oregon lawmakers are concerned a private equity firm is violating 2025 legislation intended to keep profit-driven investors from undermining medical care. The spirit of the new law is to get private equity out of hospitals and decisions over care, says L&C Professor Keith Cunningham-Parmeter. “Private equity is taking over all sorts of specialty medical services across the nation. Oregon’s recent law was trying to do something about that.” But, he notes, “private equity has been very clever in finding loopholes to these restrictions on the corporate practice of medicine.’”

Where Should Moral Philosophy Begin? by Avram Hiller (Portland State University)
How should one live? Why be moral? These questions are commonly used as the points of departure for moral theorizing. Although they are of course deeply important, I argue that they misdirect moral theory. First, they focus primarily on agents—ones who act—rather than those who are acted upon. Second, they concern agents as individuals rather than collectives. I discuss how the individualistic agent-centered approach has had a distorting effect on moral theory, and propose an alternative methodology focusing on those affected by actions and institutions.
