About the Series:
Rutgers University – Newark was awarded a grant by the Mellon Foundation to organize a Sawyer Seminar Series titled Potentialities of Justice: Toward Collective Reparative Futures. During the 2024-2025 academic year, the seminars will bring together scholars, students, and community organizers to reflect on four interconnected themes of disability justice, transitional justice, environmental justice, and racial justice with the aim of illuminating common histories and methodological frameworks that can inform generative responses to past and present social harms. Each area of focus reflects not only the scholarly interests of our faculty and students, but also the institutional commitments of Rutgers University – Newark as an anchor institution devoting its resources to serve our community.
