The talk is titled, “Black Girls and School-to-Confinement Pathways: Building a Gender-Inclusive Justice Reform Agenda”. Public discourses on race, school discipline, and the criminal legal system have consistently prioritized the conditions of males--rendering females, particularly young Black women and girls, invisible in policy responses and practices aimed to reduce racial disparities and confinement. When women and girls are acknowledged, the focus is often exclusively on their sexuality and reproductive health. In this lecture, Dr. Morris will discuss why it is imperative that scholars, advocates, and other key stakeholders construct a more gender-inclusive and authentic justice reform agenda. Monique W. Morris, EdD is a 2012 Soros Justice Fellow and a lecturer for Saint Mary’s College of California in the Leadership Studies Graduate Program. Dr. Morris is also the CEO of MWM Consulting Group, LLC, a research and technical assistance firm that advances concepts of fairness, diversity and inclusion and has nearly 20 years of professional and volunteer experience as a scholar advocate in the areas of civil rights and social justice Co-Sponsored by: Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity, College of Arts and Sciences, Department of Teaching and Learning: Education & Human Ecology, Criminal Justice Research Center, Department of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, DISCO, The Women's Place 165 Thompson Library, 1858 Neil Ave. OSU ASC Drupal 8 ascwebservices@osu.edu America/New_York public
