Much of the way we are taught is to compartmentalize our understanding of the world through different lenses. Something is an international issue, a comparative issue, a foreign issue, or a domestic issue. Then there are subcategories. Something is a crime against humanity, a crime in different jurisdictions, a crime in one jurisdiction, etc. Join this dynamic virtual gathering, which will bring together people from different disciplines to spark conversation.
