Scholars Wonder at the Trajectory of Expanding Social Justice Programs
George Floyd was killed by police a few miles from Dr. Valerie Chepp’s house. And as her students went out into the streets to protest this past summer, she completely redesigned her senior capstone course for the fall. Chepp is the social justice program director for Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota, and through the program, she felt like she had the opportunity to address the questions student activists were asking themselves while equipping them with applicable skills for their community organizing.

Equity Requires Action
COVID-19 has affected us all in different ways. During the spring semester, most colleges and universities had to pivot to move courses online. At that time most, if not all, students left campus. As the American Medical Association pointed out, the COVID-19 pandemic is disproportionately affecting Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) populations because they “suffer disproportionally, due to the inequities in society perpetuated by systematic practices.”

What Do Sporting Boycotts Tell Us About Ourselves?
The decision to boycott has been coupled with questions about what NBA players and other professional athletes are going to do next. The boycotting, however, needs to be framed as a greater cultural moment that is reflective of American shortcomings rather than asking athlete to carry the mantel for social activism.
