Place-Based Justice Network Summer Institute

The 2018 Place-Based Justice Institute will be hosted by Loyola University Maryland from June 6th to June 8th. Like previous Institutes, the 2018 Institute will continue to provide opportunities for teams from universities and their communities to learn from each other through plenaries, breakouts sessions, team planning time and site visits.

Reflecting the evolving purpose of the Network, the Summer Institute will have a more intensive focus on how place-based community engagement initiatives can combat racism through personal, organizational and institutional change and growth.

On-site registration will open at 3pm, and programming will begin at 5:30pm on Wednesday, June 6th and conclude at 4pm on Friday, June 8th. Learn more detailed about the Place-Based Justice Network on our website (link coming soon.)
