Social work professor to guest on Nov. 20 ‘Live Wire’

Susan McCarter, assistant professor in the School of Social Work, will be the guest on the Nov. 20 edition of “The Live Wire,” Inside UNC Charlotte’s streaming webcast. Starting at noon, she will share her research on disproportionality across the justice system.

The blindfolded image of lady justice has long represented the ideals of America’s judicial system. Yet a mounting series of public incidents between police and African-Americans and data on the effects of socioeconomic status, race and education suggest that justice in America is far from blind.
