LLS 100 Course Description: This course is an interdisciplinary and comparative study of Latinxs and their experiences of justice and injustice in New York City. Because this is a special section of LLS 100, we will be focusing on Latinx communities and justice in relation to K-12 education in the United States and New York City. The course begins with an exploration of the current landscape of educational inequity and inequality for Latinx students in K-12 schools before discussing what the barriers are to justice for students in the current education system. We will end the course by focusing on the possible solutions or routes to justice that might exist in a post-pandemic K-12 public education system.

PSY 141 Course Description: How reliable are peoples’ memories? We will investigate this question both from a personal point of view, and also within the context of the criminal justice system. You will participate in hands-on learning exercises that are designed to demonstrate the limitations of our memories. You will explore some of the techniques that “memory masters” use to help them to remember enormous amount of information. You will have opportunities to assess whether these techniques help you to remember information in your college classes or everyday lives. You will also learn about the injustices that have occurred when eyewitnesses have made memory errors in identifying the perpetrator of a crime. You will find out about the research that helps us to better understand why and when these types of errors occur, and what can be done to prevent these problems in the future. Finally, you will bring your own lived experiences into our class to take the learning we do together beyond the classroom and into your professional, personal, and academic life.
