Stockdale Center
Logbook
August 7, 2008
Welcome. This is the inaugural posting for the Logbook of the
Stockdale Center! You can look here for schedules
of events, publications, announcements and other items
of interest.
August 11, 2008
The Stockdale Center website has undergone some extensive summertime
revision. You will find several changes and additions. More
will be coming, including the first edition of our newsletter, due
out in an October/November time-frame.
Since its inception as the Center for the Study of Professional
Military Ethics, the Stockdale Center has hosted and published
lectures by distinguished military and civilian figures. These
lectures have dealt with the ethical aspects of military service,
and moral courage. On our website, we now offer not only the PDF
transcriptions of these talks, but have added audio recordings.
These can accessed by visiting the
Publications and Multimedia page.
Additionally, we offer video of three of the most important events
in the Center's history.
You can watch or listen
to
Admiral Stockdale discuss his days
as clandestine commander of the POW group in Hao Lo prison in Hanoi
Vietnam. Also available is a moving evening with
Hugh
Thompson, the man that halted the Mai Lai massacre.
Additionally,
Dr. Phil Zimbardo, famous for the
Stanford prison experiment, has graciously allowed us to post his
riveting presentation concerning the "Lucifer Effect," how
dysfunctional systems or environments can make it more likely the
ordinary people act in immoral ways, and how we can counteract these
influences.
You can now listen to
almost every lecture sponsored by the Stockdale Center. More will be
added as they become available. These include talks by Dr.
Michael Walzer, Gen. Anthony Zinni, Lt. Gen. James Mattis, Admiral
Harold Gehman, Reverand J. Bryan Hehir, among others.
Lastly, you will also
find that we have an "Ask
the Center" page. A form, really, this allows you to give
us feedback, make a request, or simply ask advice. Feel free
to make use of this new feature. We will endeavor to answer every
submission in a timely manner.
