The theme of the 2024 LEAD Summit is “El Plan de San Bernardino: Transnationalism, Academic Mobility, and the Reframing of Education,” which will examine the binational relationship from the prism of education. Register now for the Sept. 27 summit at Cal State San Bernardino.
Videos from the Building Academic Exchange Bridges Across Borders (California-Mexico and Beyond) 2024 meeting, which included CSUSB’s LEAD Projects, are now available on-demand online. The February sessions at Metropolitan Autonomous University, Mexico City, were part one of the meeting; part two will take place at the annual LEAD Summit on the CSUSB campus in September.
Brian Levin (criminal justice, emeritus) was interviewed about increasing hate incidents targeting the Latino community (the segment also featured the Raza Database Project housed at CSUSB’s Latino Education and Advocacy Days project), and in a separate news segment, about the increase in hate incidents directed at Muslims and Jews.
The retirement of Brian Levin (criminal justice) as director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism is featured, Alicia Gutierrez-Romine (history) published an article, “Invisible women, invisible abortions, invisible abortions,” and Enrique Murillo Jr. (education) was featured in a short video for Hispanic Heritage Month.
Although “¡Ya Basta! – Enough is Enough!: Education and Violence in the Context of our Schools, Community Safety, and Law-Enforcement,” was a sobering look at the topic, expanding education was seen as a way to counter violence.
Carmen Beck (education) was on a panel to discuss the intersection of violence and education and its affect on Latino school children, Mike Stull (entrepreneurship) discussed the Inland Empire Center for Entrepreneurship’s 2022 Impact Report, and Brian Levin (criminal justice) was quoted in an article about hate crimes against the LGBTQ community.
Enrique Murillo Jr. (education) was interviewed about the LEAD Summit XII on Sept. 29, its theme, “¡Ya Basta! – Enough is Enough! Education and Violence in the Context of our Schools, Community Safety, and Law Enforcement,” and the programs related to it.
