Dispatches from a Dean
Feminist Reflections
Below is a note I sent to the SJSU College of Social Science on April 22, 2021.
Dear College of Social Sciences (CoSS) family-
We are all shocked and saddened by the tragic events in Minneapolis, Minnesota over the past few days. As human beings, many of us are overwhelmed by the complexity of the situation and the intense emotions it has created. As members of an institution that strives for social justice, we may feel discouraged and outraged. And, as social scientists, we are wondering how our disciplines and our knowledge can contribute to solutions.
