Each year, the Diversity and Social Justice Forum at 澳门威尼斯人app下载大学's Dale E. 福勒法学院 hosts a symposium on issues of social justice, typically paired with the release of the DSJ论坛, an online publication featuring practice-oriented issues of social justice, including any aspect of the underlying legal or humanitarian concerns, 法律或政策解决方案, or the work of movements organizing to address the problem.

通过Zoom虚拟托管
This year’s virtual symposium examines the implications of the social reckoning that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on the interplay between racial hierarchy and solidarity, and the wrongful conviction of people of color, specifically within Black communities.
Panel 1 | COVID-19: Lessons in Racial Hierarchy and Solidarity
10:30 - 11:45 a.m.
This panel is designed to engage in dialogue centering around how COVID-19 has reinforced and challenged the social positionality of racial and ethnic identities, review how communities of color have been variously impacted by the global pandemic, explore how disparate impacts are framed by structural and social inequalities, and discuss implications for solidarity in a post-COVID world.

12 - 1 p.m.

Panel 2 | Guilty Until Proven Innocent
1:15 - 2:30 p.m.
This panel is designed to engage in dialogue regarding needed reforms and strategies for advancing toward a system that promotes public safety and addresses the criminal justice system's many inequities. It's clear that our criminal justice system is undeniably broken, and it is no longer a question whether our justice system produces convictions of innocent persons. Exonerating wrongful convictions is great and should be celebrated. 但往往, society fails to consider that being released does not resolve the anguish of a wrongful conviction.
在小组讨论之前， Evette Jahangiri, a 2nd-year law student at the 福勒法学院, 将表演一段原创, 令人回味的口语诗.
