Call for Papers: The Pursuit of Justice: Understanding Hatred, Confronting Intolerance, Eliminating Inequality – Spokane, WA

Gonzaga Law School, the Gonzaga Institute for Hate Studies, and the Washington Task Force on Race and the Criminal Justice System invite submissions for a conference titled, The Pursuit of Justice: Understanding Hatred, Confronting Intolerance, Eliminating Inequality, to be held at April 18-20, 2013.

The conference is intended “to align interests in understanding and addressing fear and ignorance of the “other” with concerns about how these conditions manifest in hatred, intolerance, and inequality.  The conference will center on how these problems affect the pursuit of justice, with a special interest in the role of law and the legal community in both perpetuating and eliminating discrimination and bias.”  Papers and session proposals are both welcome.

Proposal deadline: December 1, 2012
