Question from the audience in conversation with Judge Laurel Beatty Blunt and Dean Celeste Watkins-Hayes:

I was a longtime teacher and school leader in Detroit and saw pretty intimately numerous occasions the ways in which the entanglement of the education and criminal justice system and the ways that that had pretty life altering implications for many of my students. And so as someone who's interested in working in that policy arena in the future, I was wondering if you could talk about what reforms you think would be most impactful in subverting those injustices and racial inequities. And would you focus those within the education system, criminal justice system, a combination or elsewhere?
