A Just World In Conversation, a series moderated by College of SBS Dean Lori Poloni-Staudinger
Welcome to A Just World In Conversation, a series from the University of Arizona College of Social and Behavioral Sciences. The series is moderated by Lori Poloni-Staudinger, dean of the college. In each conversation, we introduce you to an SBS scholar and explore how their research helps us better understand people, communities, and the forces shaping our world. These brief conversations bring our college’s vision, A Just World, Together to life by connecting important scholarship with questions and challenges that affect us all.
