APSU Ethics Assoc. Professor to address Clarksville Human Relations Commission
Dr. Jordy Rocheleau will share a presentation to the Clarksville Human Relations Commission on “The Concept of Human Rights and Some Implications for the US Today.” Dr. Rochealeau is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Austin Peay State University and will deliver his lecture during the regular meeting of the Clarksville Human Relations Commission this Thursday at 6:00 PM in the Building & Codes meeting room on Spring Street.
After discussing the what Dr. Rocheleau calls “the idea of human rights,” he will discuss some of the implications of a serious commitment to human rights for issues regarding the treatment of prisoners of war, and obligations to assist those in humanitarian crises. He will also address US immigration policy.
Dr. Rocheleau will also take questions on the topic.
During his 8-year tenure at Austin Peay, Dr. Rocheleau has taught specifically on continental philosophy, ethics, and political philosophy. He is currently teaching a graduate level course in the military history program on the ethics of war. He is the co-author of Rights and Wrongs in the College Classroom: Ethical Issues in Postsecondary Teaching. He lives in Clarksville with his wife and son.
The Clarksville Human Relations Commission is a volunteer group of men and women from all walks of life that are appointed by the Mayor. The commission’s primary task is to promote understanding and relations between major religious, racial, ethnic, and social groups within the City of Clarksville.
The public is invited to attend this free and informative meeting. For more information, please contact CHRC member Dr. Hassan Said at or David W. Shelton at .
