In bringing the Smithsonian’s "The Bias Inside Us" exhibition to campus, California Western School of Law (CWSL) is creating the space for critical conversations on the intersections of bias, privilege, law, and justice. As part of this ongoing community engagement project, CWSL is proud to announce that we will be hosting a panel featuring Professor Emily Behzadi Cárdenas and George Fatheree, in which they will discuss the long-term impacts of bias and racial discrimination on property ownership and what can be done to shift the material conditions of historically marginalized communities. George Fatheree is a social impact entrepreneur and trailblazing attorney committed to closing the wealth gap through home ownership. He is most notably recognized for securing the landmark return of the Bruce’s Beach property, marking the first time that the U.S. government has returned property taken by racially motivated eminent domain. Professor Behzadi Cárdenas’s scholarship revolves around the convergence of cultural heritage law, human rights, and social justice. Her recent publication, National Security or National Origin? The Implications of Florida’s Alien Land Law Under the Federal Fair Housing Act, addresses ongoing efforts to codify discriminatory housing practices, exposing the cultural biases that underly them. This event is both in-person and virtual. Virtual registrants will receive the Zoom link prior to the event (MUST RSVP to receive the link). This event is made possible in part by the Law, Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity fund. "The Bias Inside Us"—an exhibition and community engagement project from the Smithsonian—is an exploration of the science and consequences of implicit bias and an opportunity to learn how to challenge bias in the world through awareness of one’s own bias.

We know, this isn't your typical Saturday night activity! Crafting a meaningful end-of-life experience is something that family and friends can participate in, and having a home funeral is one way to honor a life well lived. Community death care should be accessible to all, it's the way we used to care for our dead before the modern funeral industry became the standard.

What will you be experiencing at this evening of contemplating death and grief? 7:00 - 7:45 p.m. You'll be invited into the home funeral of Grace where you can immerse yourself in a realistic representation of a funeral held at home, complete with a shrouded body and creative grief activities to help process emotions. Grief activities include meditation with a sound bath, crafting a burial mala necklace and sharing a memory on a remembrance tree. Participate as much or as little as you'd like. 7:45 - 8:15 p.m. We'll transition into a Q&A session where you can ask anything and everything about home funerals with our panel of Death Doulas and a Funeral Director. 8:15 - 9:00 p.m. Our Death Doulas will demonstrate basic body care, end-of-life rituals and the sacred practice of shrouding.
