Center Director Susan Sturm, the George M. Jaffin Professor of Law and Social Responsibility, shared her ongoing research on court systems and law schools that have undertaken to build a culture of full participation. In her lecture, she offered an approach that undertakes both to reduce disparities related to identities, including race, gender, and socio-economic status, and to advance broader goals related to the mission, such as building a judicial system with a culture of justice and fairness or a law school culture that enables students with all different backgrounds and identities to thrive. This both/and approach is part of a broader theory of how organizations can effectively and sustainably address structural inequality. The lecture also explored the impact of the Trump administration on these approaches, and included an interactive component.
