Christopher Normile, assistant professor of psychology, will present a lecture, “Injustice in Action: Systemic Failures, Wrongful Convictions, and the Struggle for Reintegration,” on December 4 at 7 pm in Quigley Auditorium.

Described by scholars as “the ultimate failure of justice,” wrongful convictions are a grave flaw in the legal system, perpetuating the suffering of the innocent.

Drawing connections between the recent execution of Marcellus Williams in Missouri—despite compelling evidence of his potential innocence—and broader systemic issues, this talk explores the root causes of wrongful convictions, from flawed forensic evidence to mistaken eyewitness identifications and more.

It also traces the arduous process of exoneration and the profound, often overlooked challenges exonerees face in reclaiming their lives after years of wrongful imprisonment, highlighting the persistent toll on individuals and communities.

• Spring 2025, meets M/W 11:00 am – 12:15 pm

A study of modern and contemporary art through the lens of art writing. This course builds the research-based skills and visual literacy necessary for art writing–a rigorous but creative process of knowledge production. Art writers mobilize art in the service of broader cultural conversations to address social and political challenges, from race and gender equity to climate change. Students read and practice discipline-specific writing, and they also focus on interdisciplinary authors who posit art as a model of political resistance. Along with foundational writing skills, this course promotes proficiency in the visual and written language of contemporary art.

Prerequisite: any previous art history course (ART 115, 250, 343, 584). If you don’t have this and you’re interested in the class, please reach out to Professor Paula Burleigh.
