Injustice League Lecture Series

The Junior Faculty Injustice League Lecture Series (ILLS) was launched in the Fall of 2013 by Hallie Liberto, Suzy Killmister, and Daniel Silvermint. As the name implies, all three are junior faculty interested in injustice.  They choose and schedule the speakers, inviting mostly junior faculty working on issues of justice and injustice.

For events forthcoming in the current semester, please see our Calendar.  When an event is within the group of six next to occur it will show up on the homepage too, as an “upcoming” event.  Here is the history from earlier semesters.
