Jeff Lee, raised in Amherst Massachusetts and a graduate of Harvard University Medical School, is retired family medicine doctor who practiced in Seattle, Washington in affiliation with UW Medicine-Valley Medical Center. Dad Next Door, his regularly occurring column for the online publication Seattle’s Child, as well as weekly reflections sent out from his coaching and consulting website jeffleecoaching.com, exemplify his unique, intimate style of gently breaking down, all in about 500-700 words or so, the foibles, troubles and controversies of everyday life - common sources of anxiety or contention for us—and building them up into manageable plateaus upon which readers may launch future reflections in a more friendly, healthful, and profitable manner. Driven both by the forma mentis of his profession and by his own loving heart, Jeff’s work falls just as easily into the best of the Socratic tradition as a philosophy of health, healing, and happiness.
The University of Hartford Philosophy Club has an informal, jovial atmosphere. It is a place where students, professors, and people from the community at large meet as peers. Sometimes presentations are given, followed by discussion. Other times, topics are hashed out by the whole group.
Presenters may be students, professors, or people from the community. Anyone can offer to present a topic. The mode of presentation may be as formal or informal as the presenter chooses.
Come and go as you wish. Bring friends. Suggest topics and activities. Take over the club! It belongs to you! Just show up!
