Beyond 探花视频: Lifelong Learning 鈥� "When Safer-at-Home is Not Actually Safe: Supporting Intimate Partner Violence Survivors during Quarantine" April 22, 2021 | Virtual Event
In March 2020, state governments began issuing 鈥淪afer-at-Home鈥� orders to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. But for women living with abusive partners, being quarantined at home was anything but safe. Andrea Schneider, professor of law in the 探花视频 Law School and director for the Institute for Women鈥檚 Leadership, created a research team to analyze the effect these orders had on the prevalence of domestic abuse cases, and their impact on the wellness and mental health of survivors.
Hear how this team, in partnership with Milwaukee County Circuit Court and the Sojourner Family Peace Center, is working toward improving services for survivors during the pandemic, to enhance court processes, and to guide best practices in advising workplaces on how to respond to Intimate Partner Violence.
This project was a winner of the 2020 President's Challenge, which provided funding for innovative, interdisciplinary, collaborative work addressing needs in Milwaukee鈥檚 community that have been created or magnified by the COVID-19 pandemic and representing critical areas in the community鈥檚 recovery efforts.
Dr. Jennica Webster talks with Dr. Darren Wheelock, an Associate Professor of Social and Cultural Sciences and Director of Criminal Justice Analytics Program at 探花视频, about his work examining the connection between public attitudes toward criminal punishment and views towards racial minorities as well as how this work is being or could be applied.

The Diederich College of Communication presents panelists, ,and David Umhoefer to the 2021 Nieman Symposium, moderated by IWL Faculty FellowDr. Ayleen Cabas-Mijares. The 2021 Nieman Symposium focuses on a timely critique of the history, impact, and value of objectivity in American journalism. As journalism in the U.S. evolved, its principles and practices grew alongside the dominant white (male, cisgender, and heterosexual) perspective. In this context, the principle of objectivity has virtually been conflated with whiteness, resulting in the silencing, stereotyping and/or distorting of BIPOC identities, and issues.鈥�&苍产蝉辫;鈥�In this symposium, prominent journalists and media scholars will reflect together on this history and discuss how the journalism profession can improve its quality, regain BIPOC communities鈥� trust, and fulfill its promise of guarding democracy.
