Is the mid-semester slump getting you down? Have you been neglecting your writing project?

Switch it up. Come write with us on Tuesdays. Our host, Dr. Nick Robertson, associate professor of criminology at RIT, will help us protect our writing time.

UNY-PRC has developed a digital archive that helps bring together materials from system-affected people alongside hard-to-access state records on policing, alongside state records that are often difficult to access by researchers. Everyone is welcome to join.
