The Women & Gender Studies Program is pleased to host Danielle Ponder, Monroe County Assistant Public Defender, as our keynote speaker for the 2017 Spring Symposium on Displacing Citizenships.
The keynote talk titled "Citizenship in Name Only: Realities from the Criminal Justice System" and a facilitated discussion will take place in the Medaille Formal Dining Room in Medaille Hall on the Nazareth College campus. In a time of social movements, fear, laws on immigrants and refugees, internment camps, sacred land and jurisdiction issues, the theme of displacing citizenships explores the intersections of race, class, genders, and sexualities in the formation and articulation of citizenship and national identity.
The keynote talk is free to the campus and the greater Rochester community.
Co-sponsored by Nazareth's Office for Diversity & Inclusion.
Also March 8: Ponder will perform with her band (a free show) at Nazareth at 8 p.m.
