APRIL 9, 2024 — Mel Webb, UTSA Philosophy and Classics professor of instruction, recently reached a milestone in their academic career: the fifth anniversary of an honors class that positively impacts the lives of UTSA students and incarcerated individuals at the Fabian Dominguez State Jail.
This experiential learning program, The UTSA Philosophy and Literature Circle, is a 12-week reading, writing and discussion program directed by Webb that fosters a vibrant learning community in which incarcerated participants and university students engage in a sustained exploration of enduring texts and questions in the humanities.
The program is an Honors seminar, cross-listed as an upper-division humanities elective and a graduate-level philosophy seminar, to ensure students from across UTSA have access to this opportunity.
