Students-Meets-Scholars: Social Justice in Academia and Practice

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract

This panel will comprise scholars who are active not only in teaching and writing about social justice, but also in fighting for it—at the community and university level. Each of these panelists has dedicated themselves to social change, despite the many risks. This panel would be great for students hoping learn more about scholarship and activism.
