For the second time in less than two years, the city of Minneapolis is the site of a police trial that has garnered national and international attention. Given the temporal proximity of these trials and the centrality of race (and gender) in both cases, this teach-in will take a deep look at the Chauvin trial from jury selection to trial arguments and commentary and will do so in a way that helps our students and communities better understand how race, gender, policing, and police violence are adjudicated.

This Teach-In will be guided by student-generated questions. Students are invited to submit their questions and to join us via Zoom for each of these live events.
