"Town Hall of Injustices"

On Wednesday, Dec. 7, Eureka College’s “Social Justice as an Engaged Citizen” class will be hosting its second annual “Town Hall of Injustices” from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

 

The class, which is a Justice and Civic Responsibility course, is inviting the community to come and engage in a night filled with conversation and community progress at the Terrill Rooms of the Donald B. Cerf Center.

 

Eureka College Visiting Assistant Professor of Business Cameron Horn’s ECC101 class has spent the semester researching social injustices, both in our community and around the globe. The class gives the students the opportunity to hear opposing and supporting views, and understand how constructive discussions about complicated topics should be structured. Then, the class discusses how the issues are connected to different forms of social injustice.

 

At the town hall event, students from the class will be presenting on one topic that they feel is a social injustice, proposing alternatives and solutions to the injustice, and discussing alternative views on the topics with attendees.

 

The purpose of this two-hour event is to not only have the students present their research and findings on particular topics, but to also engage in a lively conversation around others' perceptions of these topics.

 

The event is free for all to attend.
