Education

Africana Criminal Justice Project supports the development of new strategies and resources for teaching about race, crime, and justice in academic and popular settings.

The project will also develop new curricular resources for teaching in this area (See Research), and support public education on crime, punishment, and resistance to criminal injustice, through public speaking, conferences and organizing initiatives (See Organizing).
