RACE1001 x LAW: In Conversation with Jody Armour

***REGISTRATION REQUIRED***

We are told that everyone is equal in the eyes of the law, but is it true in practice? How do race and racism permeate our legal system and social structures? What can we do about it?

Join us in a discussion on race and criminal justice co-hosted by The Australian National University (ANU) Law Reform and Social Justice research and policy group and student-run ANU Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC) Department.

Jody Armour (Professor, University of Southern California Gould School of Law) specialises in criminal law and is an author of the recently published book N*gga Theory: Race, Language, Unequal Justice and the Law on the long shadow of racism in America. He will be joined in conversation with Mary Spiers Williams (Sub Dean, Australian Indigenous Studies at ANU and a criminal lawyer), who will provide her insights relating Jody Armour's thoughts to the inequities of the criminal justice system in Australia.
Comment will be provided by Jonathan Liljeblad (ANU College of Law), who will also moderate the discussion to encourage questions from the audience.
