Join us in welcoming Dr. Fania Davis to campus! In this presentation, Dr. Fania Davis will explore how we can re-imagine healing and justice in the context of our racialized society. The intersections of racial justice, restorative justice, healing, and indigeneity will be discussed at this inflection point. How are these times of disaster, awakening, and repair – inviting us to release and imagine old social structures rooted in white supremacy?
