#inclusiveLU ORIENTATION THE DEFAMATION EXPERIENCE You just finished watching the trial and you are a juror. Who is guilty? Why did you make this decision? Whom did you believe? What impact did watching the trial have on you? What are some takeaways from this experience? We have seen on global and local levels the role of bias (conscious and unconscious) in relation to health care systems, policing, and government policy. In response to this, movements like Black Lives Matter and the drive to change harmful mascots are working to dismantle systemic inequalities. These movements are impacting us all differently. How have these past few months impacted you? How have you seen these movements exist in social media? What opportunities do you think you will seek out in order to en- gage in social justice work as a Lehigh student?
