]]>We are excited to inform you about our new initiative, the Undergraduate Politics & Law Journal at Fairleigh Dickinson University.
The journal is intended to provide undergraduate students with an outlet to explore legal and political issues and to work alongside faculty and student editors to publish articles. The journal experience is enriching at the undergraduate level and provides undergraduate students with an entry in their scholarly portfolio.
We are accepting submissions from undergraduate students writing on contemporary topics in politics and law. Submissions must be received no later than October 15, 2022. This is a great opportunity for students doing honors work, independent studies, or those who are getting ready for a senior thesis.
We ask that submissions be made no later than October 15th, 2022. Further details regarding the submission requirements are available on our website, www.fairleighdickinsonuplj.org
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please email us at please email us at fairleighuplj@gmail.com
As statewide primaries continue through the summer, many Americans are beginning to think about which candidates they will support in the 2022 general election.
This decision-making process is fraught with difficulties, especially for inexperienced voters.
Voters must navigate angry, emotion-laden conversations about politics when trying to sort out whom to vote for. Americans are more likely than ever to view politics in moral terms, meaning their political conversations sometimes feel like epic battles between good and evil.
But political conversations are also shaped by, obviously, what Americans know - and, less obviously, what they think they know - about politics.

I want to invite you to the AOK Library & Gallery's Spotlight! Symposium Prison State.
This fall, the Symposium will explore the regional and pervasive impact of prison incarceration and the current debate around prison abolition. Specifically, we would like to engage in the conversation about prison abolition, reform, youth incarnation, cumulative trauma, rights of formerly incarcerated citizens, etc.
The inspiration for the theme is the Library's Special Collections' prison incarceration collection and the Library Gallery exhibit being hosted, called Prison Nation, simultaneously in Fall 2022.
We've scheduled nine presentations throughout the semester in the Gallery or virtually. You can click on each presentation below for descriptions and to RSVP.
1. Dr. Kate Drabinski, UMBC Professor: 9/30
2. Glennor Shirley, Retired Prison Librarian: 10/10
