Fifth Decanal Lecture: Five Years After Ferguson: Lessons Learned and Mistakes Made

Description

Dean Nancy Staudt, of the Washington University-St. Louis School of Law, presented the Fifth Decanal Lecture: Five Years After Ferguson: Lessons Learned and Mistakes Made. This work examines how, located just 12 miles from Ferguson, Missouri, Washington University has learned many important lessons over the last 5 years. With social change, social justice, and community partnerships now playing an important role in the revised academic mission, many are calling the institution: Washington University FOR St. Louis rather than, simply, Washington University IN St. Louis.
