California Racial Justice Act Conference
University of California, Irvine
This inaugural Southern California conference on the California Racial Justice Act (RJA) will bring together diverse stakeholders to deepen our collective understanding of bias and explore new and creative strategies to fulfill the aims of the RJA. This interdisciplinary conference brings together emerging and existing RJA practitioners, litigators, scholars, community advocates, and other subject matter experts. We hope to foster a space for participants with different forms of expertise to learn from each other, more deeply engage with the RJA, and develop innovative strategies to implement the RJA.
