    Episode 6: Changes in Criminal Justice-related Curriculum

    As the call to eradicate bias from the criminal justice system continues, and as John Jay works toward a Culturally Responsive, Inclusive and Anti-Racist Curriculum, we asked faculty from our criminal justice-related majors to weigh in on what changes can and should be made to John Jay's criminal justice-related majors.  In this episode Professors Rosemary Barberet (International Criminal Justice B.A.) Christopher Herrmann (Criminal Justice B.S.), Henry Smart (Criminal Justice Management B.S.), Denise D.P. Thompson (Criminal Justice Management B.S.) and Valerie West (Criminal Justice B.A.) share their thoughts about how to expand the types of scholarship taught to be more inclusive, why it makes sense to encourage students to minor in Africana Studies or Latin American and Latinx Studies, and the importance of moving past merely identifying racial bias toward solving the problems underlying or created by bias. This is a frank discussion that balances idealism and pragmatism in equal measure.

    Episode 5: Students Speak about What a Culturally Responsive, Inclusive and Anti-Racist Curriculum Might Be

    In this MUST LISTEN episode, Associate Provosts Dara Byrne and Allison Pease talk with, in order of appearance on the show, Tayvhon Pierce (University Student Senate Representative), Sam Ascencio (Vice President, LGBTQ + Allies Club), DeCarlos Hines (President, Black Student Union), Rivkah Cohen (President, Hillel), and Pelumi Raji-Bolaji (President, International Criminal Justice Club) about how they understand a Culturally Affirming, Inclusive and Anti-Racist Curriculum.  During the episode it becomes clear that a curriculum that is merely "affirming" is not doing enough to acknowledge the experience and knowledge students bring with them to their courses.  Instead, we need a culturally responsive curriculum to create a richer dialogue between professors, students, and the material in any given course.  These brilliant students provide a template for classes that are welcoming, open, and just, and it starts with professors who are humble, as well as socially and politically aware.
