As a white woman, I won’t pretend to know (or even understand) how students of color and the Black community may be feeling. I am committed to using my privilege to support students and advocate for social change. I research how gender and race shape persons' involvement in the CJ system and provide trainings on the subject to criminal justice practitioners.
Please let me know if you or other students need support from a privileged faculty member (me). I am here. I am happy to help students in any way I can.
Below are some recommended videos, readings, and documentaries. It is important to keep an open mind and try to understand all sides of any issue. As with any issue, the best approach to reach a solution is educating yourself. We will discuss these issues in the context of corrections throughout the class.
