Scholars connected to the Department of Law and Legal Studies are currently featured in The Journey of a Change Maker<\/em>, an exhibition on display on the fourth floor of the MacOdrum Library. The exhibit highlights the research, creativity, and social commitments of graduate students and scholars from the Faculty of Public and Global Affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition invites participants to reflect on the kind of change they hope to create in the world and to translate those visions into artistic expressions connected to their research, advocacy, and values. The result is a collection of interdisciplinary works that bridge academic research, public engagement, and creative storytelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the featured contributors are PhD Student\u00a0Sunitha Bisan Singh<\/strong>,\u00a0whose work in environmental law and global sustainability explores pathways toward ecological justice, and\u00a0Jeffrey Bradley<\/strong>, a PhD Graduate from Legal Studies and contractor instructor in Criminology whose research engages questions of state violence, prisons, and transformative justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunitha\u2019s contribution is making the case for humility and teamwork to build momentum for Gender Climate Justice. She asks what a reimagination of justice governance could look like and how to amplify the grassroots women\u2019s voices and contributions. She calls for climate justice as both a person and collective responsibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bradley\u2019s contribution includes a collage and short documentary created on Prisoners\u2019 Justice Day 2025 that honours the resilience and strength of women who experienced state violence at Canada\u2019s former Prison for Women in Kingston. The piece draws attention to histories of harm within the carceral system while also highlighting possibilities for healing, abolition, and transformative justice. The exhibit also invites visitors to explore interviews with former prisoners, advocates, and community activists through the Healing for Justice documentary project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bringing together contributors from disciplines including law, social work, communication, and sustainable energy, the exhibition demonstrates how research can extend beyond traditional academic formats. The works collectively show how scholarship can also function as storytelling, advocacy, and a catalyst for social transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students, faculty, and community members are encouraged to visit the display on the fourth floor of the MacOdrum Library to engage with these inspiring visions for a more just and equitable world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
