Hello GGU Community!

Please join GGU Law's Race, Gender, Sexuality & Social Justice Law Journal on April 1, 2022 @ 12PM via Zoom to learn about the pressing and salient issues our writers have addressed in the last year.

The last several years have laid bare the shortcomings of many of our pillar institutions—a lack of faith in the future has permeated every corner of our society—an ongoing pandemic placed low-wage workers at the front of the fight while corporations continue to rake in record profits. Distrust in government and law enforcement has never been higher; education and the press are under constant assault; and climate change continually ravages our lives, both directly and indirectly. Digital learning, coupled with the anxiety stemming from continual ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ events, has created a generation of students whose experiences are not the same as their predecessors.

However, these lows have fostered a newfound commitment to change in many students who want to leave the world a better place than they found it. Here at GGU’S Race, Gender, Sexuality, and Social Justice Law Journal, we are proud to spotlight those voices. While distrust in our pillar institutions remains high, our writers at the Journal seek to address these continuing injustices by focusing on our own four pillars: race, gender, sexuality, and social justice. Under each of these pillars, we have published work from our writers, bringing a unique perspective in each piece that serves as a reminder that a fresh perspective can make all the difference. While not all of these pieces will be presented in our symposium, each piece nevertheless furthers the cause of bringing attention to issues that fall by the wayside in traditional spaces.

Dean Crawford will share a few words at the start of the event and then the Inaugural Board Members will speak to their vision in creating the Journal. In the second portion of the event some of our writers, including former and current board members, will partner up and discuss their pieces with one another. So please join us for an engaging afternoon!

Please register for the event using this form. Once you have submitted your registration you will receive an email with the zoom information.

This event was made possible with the support of the GGU Race & Justice Task Force, Professor Nanda, and Dean Crawford. We would like to extend our warmest thanks to you all.
