Introducing Our Anniversary Celebration Honorees: Jamelia Morgan and CIAB |
Jamelia Morgan, Esq., is an award-winning scholar whose teachings analyze the intersections of race, gender, disability, and criminal law. Morgan's scholarship specifically interrogates Disability Law and the criminalization of physical and social disorders in the United States legal system. She currently acts as Professor of Law and Faculty Director at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law where she also leads the Center for Racial and Disability Justice as its founder.
In June, our BroadFutures staff was lucky enough to engage in a transformative disability and racial justice training held by Jamelia Morgan and her colleague, Jordyn Jensen. We are thrilled to recognize Morgan's contributions and look forward to honoring her at our 10 Year Anniversary Celebration.

Intern Spotlight - Amber Ward |
