"Insurrection at the Capitol: Justice and Reconciliation on our Campuses and in our
Nation"
From the Center for Organizational Research and Education (CORA)
WATCH WEBINAR RECORDING
From Thursday, January 14, 2021 - 5:30 p.m. (Pacific)
The events of January 6, 2021 rattled the nation to its core as thousands stormed the Capitol in a planned attempt to unturn the results of a democratic election and to siege elected officials. In the wake of this insurrection, the nation’s college and university leaders are contemplating how to respond. The extreme ideologies that led to the insurrection at the capitol are reflective of radicalized ideological and theological perspectives that are evident in larger society and on college campuses. Within this context, this webinar will examine the viewpoints and perspectives that led to the insurrection at the Capitol. The speakers will also offer recommendations for college and university leaders on how to advocate for justice and reconciliation in on our campuses and in our nation.
Featured Speakers: Lasana Hotep, Frank Harris III, and J. Luke Wood
