Please join us during election week for a keynote and conversation on: Voting Rights: Bridging Research and Action. Keynote speaker Ami Ghandhi, Chicago Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights, will share her work focused on reducing barriers to voting and improving civic participation, especially in communities of color and low-income communities. Then, DePaul professors, Christina Rivers and Mark Weber will facilitate a reflection and dialogue incorporating their own research and activism related to voting rights – for community member who are formerly or currently incarcerated (Rivers) and those with disabilities (Weber). Sponsored by the Society of Vincent de Paul Professors, the Office of Research Services, and the Coleman Entrepreneurship Center, this 90-minute session will bring together the university community to engage in a scholarly and Vincentian conversation around voting rights and social justice.
