Presented by Dan Berger, Associate Professor, School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences (UW Bothell); Adjunct Associate Professor, College of Arts & Sciences (UW Seattle)

Historian Dan Berger explores the surprising and influential history of prison reform in Washington state. Focusing on the 1970s and 1980s, Berger will show how the state moved from a leader in rehabilitation to a leader in punishment.

The University of Washington Bothell and McMenamins co-sponsor this speaker series in which university faculty and other notables from the community share their expertise through entertaining and informal talks. Learn about interesting topics and issues of the day while enjoying the hospitality of Anderson School’s Haynes’ Hall.
