On Thursday, March 22, 2018 in Maguire Hall (Room 160) from 12:00 PM – 1:00 the Center for the Human Rights of Children will be hosting a faculty Research Fellowship Presentation: Environmental Justice. Environmental pollution disproportionately affects communities of color and low-income communities and exposure to environmental toxins, noise, poor quality housing, and inadequate green space can negatively affect children’s development. Environmental justice aims to ensure that everyone enjoys equal protection from environmental hazards, can access and influence environmental decision-making, and benefits from a healthy environment in which to live, learn, work, and play. Join CHRC Faculty Fellows, Amy Krings, MSW, PhD, and Tania Schusler, PhD, as they describe how communities are organizing to shift power relationships and influence land use, emphasizing the role of youth in organizing for environmental justice.

A.5. On Wednesday, April 4th, 3-5pm, The Share the DREAM Undocumented Student Ally Trainings will be held at Lakeshore Campus for graduate students. The Share the DREAM Undocumented Student Ally Trainings provide the Loyola community with skills to understand the value and importance of exploring the experiences and perspectives of undocumented students; they aim to generate knowledge for self-learning; and they increase on-campus support for and the inclusion of undocumented students. Upon completing the training, trainees receive a placard that recognizes them as allies and as points of support for undocumented students on campus. The goal is that participants display these placards in their work area to invite questions and/or dialogue about the issues that impact this community. Trainings are held several times a year and are open to faculty, staff, and students. It is important that trainees commit to the entire two hours in order to receive all of the information they need in order to support this community. If you would like more information on our trainings or are interested in attending, please contact us at diversity@luc.edu.

Thus, the 2018 Symposium incorporates themes of change and social justice to direct attention to the ways that our research can make a positive impact on the world. As part of reaffirming Loyola’s commitment to diversity, this year the symposium welcomes presentations in Spanish. Paper or poster presentations are welcome in the following broad research categories: Qualitative: the exploratory analysis of non-numerical data, Quantitative: the objective and systematic analysis of numerical data, Theoretical: analysis that applies speculative paradigms in exploratory ways, Mixed Methods/Other: analysis that draws on multiple methods (quantitative, qualitative, and/or theoretical) Current graduate students within The Graduate School are eligible for monetary awards.
