'Title 42:  Justice at the Border' Event March 2

An Ellacuría Initiative-sponsored event, "Title 42: Justice at the Border" will take place March 2, from 4 to 6:00 p.m. in The Kane Forum, Edward Leahy Hall (ELH), 2nd Floor. The event will begin with an introduction to Title 42 and the KINO Border Initiative, followed by a background of the historical context of migration in Scranton and the impact on people at the U.S.- Mexico border.  Discussion will be facilitated by The University of Scranton graduate students from the Counseling and Human Services Department.

The purpose of this campus community event is to raise awareness of the various perspectives and issues related to migration, border restrictions, and the impact on the lives of humans at the U.S.-Mexico border. These discussions are meant to explore human issues of (in)justice from various disciplinary perspectives seeking to understand and emanate cura personalis, and to continue our work toward a more just and inclusive society.
