Join us for Memphis After Redistricting, a panel discussion exploring the historical and contemporary impacts of voting districts in Tennessee, including gerrymandering, redistricting, and fair representation.

The discussion will feature UofM faculty from Communication and Film, Journalism and Strategic Media, and Political Science, who will share their insights on civic responsibility as voting changes in our community.

We are especially proud to have our very own Dr. Tony de Velasco serving as a panelist.

The event will be held next Thursday, October 15, from 3:00–4:30 p.m., in the McWherter Library, 2nd Floor Commons.

Bring your questions and join us for what promises to be an engaging and timely conversation about voting, representation, and our community. #COMMStudyWithUs

Map your future with CAS! 🐯✨

Yesterday, students stopped by to explore majors, connect with departments and learn more about the many paths available through the College of Arts and Sciences.

From discovering new interests to asking questions about future careers, we loved seeing so many students take the next step toward finding where they belong.

Thanks to everyone who joined us! We'll see you in three weeks for Declare Your Major Day! Stay tuned for details. 😉💙

In acknowledgment of national Black HIV/AIDS Awareness day, I was incredibly honored to participate in a wonderful book panel coordinated by the Political Science Department at my Alma Mater. Dr. Stanley’s text wrestles with the definitions and defense of abort10n, the legal strategy for protection and the tensions between privacy, equality and freedom.

🏥👩🏻‍⚕️Although the conversation began with the topic of abort10n, it expanded into health policy, reproductive justice, and technology in health… Specifically the use of AI and Big Data both for surveillance, and for a decision-making.

💊This is relevant to my HIV advocacy because the issue of molecular HIV surveillance has become more and more prevalent among people living with HIV…

🔬👨🏼‍🔬It has been used as a tool of criminalization, a tool of hyper supervision, and even a tool to monitor the movements and whereabouts of people.

📣📣It is imperative that we end, HIV criminalization, fund HIV prevention, efforts, and advocate for policies that protect people and their health.

👩🏽‍💼This is the work that I do every single day as an advocate, as a health policy, professional, and as an applied sociologist.

📖Start talking to the people in your life by checking out the HIV prevention comic book LUNA Unleashed, which is 🔗 up 🔝.
