The University of Toledo\u2019s second post-election forum since President Donald Trump became the country\u2019s 45th president will feature a panel of scholars focusing on the topic of \u201cA Law and Order Presidency? Issues in Policing and Criminal Justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"political-forum\"<\/a>The free, public event will be held Tuesday, Jan. 31, at 6 p.m. at the West Toledo Branch Library, 1320 West Sylvania Ave.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe invite all concerned members of our community to join us for a public discussion about critical issues and questions pertaining to law enforcement, the terms on which we adjudicate crime and punishment, how we think about rights, and how we might aspire to justice,\u201d Dr. Rene Heberle, professor of political science, said.<\/p>\n

Heberle will discuss \u201cUndoing Mass Incarceration in the Trump Era: What Is to Be Done?\u201d<\/p>\n

Additional speakers and topics will include:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Jelani Jefferson Exum, UT professor of law, \u201cWhat May Change? The Influence of the Attorney General on Criminal Justice Protections and Priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Dr. Liat Ben-Moshe, UT assistant professor of disability studies, \u201cNot in Our Name: Disability, Mental Health and Criminal Justice Reform.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Gregory Gilchrist, UT associate professor of law, \u201cFederal Influences on Local Policing.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Criminal justice and policing reforms have been at the forefront of political and policy activity at the federal level, in statehouses, in communities and in the streets for the last several years,\u201d Heberle said. \u201cFaculty from various disciplines will offer perspectives on the kind of influence the federal government has had on reform efforts over the past several years. More importantly, we will discuss prospects for continuing reform given the fundamental shifts in ideological perspectives and priorities signaled by the new administration taking shape under President Donald Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event is sponsored by the UT College of Law and the UT School for Interdisciplinary Studies in the College of Arts and Letters. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
