Diversity and Justice Speaker Series
The DJSS Committee is pleased to host Professor Thalia González as part of the Diversity & Justice Speaker Series (DJSS).
She will be presenting her talk, “Antiracism and Health Equity: Exploring the Relationship between Exclusionary School Discipline Law and Politics, Negative Health Outcomes, and Lifelong Hardships for Students of Color” on April 19, 2021, from 1 to 2:30 p.m., via Zoom.
González is an associate professor of politics at Occidental College. A nationally recognized interdisciplinary legal scholar, she explores contemporary theoretical and empirical questions at the intersection of law, society, inequality and public systems. A core theme within her portfolio of work is the examination of how restorative justice operates within law and policy to examine disproportionality, structural inequality, and systematic harm.
