The Justice Studies Institute (JSI) works to advance interdisciplinary examination and collaboration on justice-based issues at 嫩B研究院 and in the broader community.
WHO:
Housed in the School of Arts & Social Sciences (SASS), JSI is composed of a mix of faculty members from across SASS, bringing together a multifaceted disciplinary background to the Institute.
WHAT:
JSI seeks to foster a unique space for academic conversations with STAC students and the broad community on critical social issues. Through a range of panels, invited guest speakers, sponsored film screenings, and topic-based discussions, the Institute aims to be at the forefront of community discussions in Rockland County and to cultivate the citizenship of STAC students and community members.
WHY:
It is imperative that SASS take the lead in bringing national discussions on a range of justice issues to the STAC community, and make critical links between these national conversations and local issues right here in Rockland County.
