Join us this Thursday, December 7, at 3:00 p.m. EST for Human Rights Day 2023: âScience Literacy and the Law.â This event will celebrate Human Rights Day with a lecture focused on scientific literacy and the law, as well as exonerations and how forensic science is critical to the administration of criminal justice. Dr. Sarah Cooper, who will provide this lecture, is an expert on the challenges that arise when legal systems and actors interact with scientific expertise. Science helps the law to understand the world in which legal policy, including human rights standards, must operate, but how valued is science literacy within law systems, like criminal trials, and by the community - lawyers - that monopolize them? Inspired by the National Academy of Sciencesâ recommendation to expand our conceptions of science literacy, and drawing on the criminal justice systemâs use of forensic science for context, this lecture will present ideas for how we can work towards answering these questions and, in doing so, build a stronger justice system for all.Â
