Welcome! Grounded in the interdisciplinary approach of Criminal Justice Studies and the civic-engaged mission of ICCE, this podcast connects academic knowledge to real-world justice issues. We bring together campus and community voices with critical scholarship to explore how justice systems take shape and impact our lives. Through dialogue, we highlight insights that expand civic learning, build community connection, and support career pathways shaped by new models of collective safety and social justice. Together, we reimagine what justice can be.
