The symposium is an inter-college event where students openly discuss the topics explored within each college’s respective theme.
Every RC student will give either a Presentation or a Poster - either as a group or as an individual project. Every RC student will also be an audience member.
At Registration, you will receive a name tag with your schedule on it. The Symposium is organized into two, concurrent, sessions: Session I: 1:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. & Session II: 3:10 p.m. - 4:40 p.m.
Our group's goal is to reconcile the current social political climate, with the systemic and institutionalized injustices that have been perpetrated by the criminal justice system. To do this, we collaborated with Bucknell's Public Safety, and did an experiment with a positionally survey on some of the officers in the department. We wanted to use the information we collected to both expose the lack of awareness of positionally in law enforcement, and also make the officers we surveyed aware of the importance of self-reflection. We will present our findings, as well as personal comments on associations between the current political climate and said findings to a group.
