2025 Judge Michael Wei Kwan Lecture Series on Justice and Equity

The Judge Michael Wei Kwan Lectures honor Judge Kwan’s legacy to the community and his 20 years as an adjunct faculty, advisor and mentor to SLCC’s Criminal Justice Program. In his memory, this annual event will feature local and national speakers to address SLCC and the communities we serve on current and relevant topics in equity, law, judicial reform and community engagement. This year's event is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Tuesday, April 8, in TB 104 at the Redwood Campus. Dr. Michael Minch will be the featured speaker. The lecture series is sponsored by The Office of the Provost for Academic Affairs and supported by a speaker nomination/selection committee. Judge Michael Wei Kwan Lecture featuring Dr. Michael Minch Keynote Presentation "Healing Conversations: How to Build Peace in Divided Communities" Tuesday, April 8, 2025 1 p.m. Taylorsville Redwood Campus 4600 S Redwood Rd. Rampton Technology Building (TB) Room 104 The political culture of the United States is deeply fractured. Republicans and Democrats view one another with suspicion, anger, resentment, and distrust. A significant number of people claim an endorsement of, or willingness to participate in, violence, to “restore” the America they desire. What can be done? How can this dangerous and unsettling divide be bridged? Can we experience healing? How can we learn to understand one another, to speak empathetically and encouragingly with one another? What can we learn from conflict analysis and peacebuilding as it has been practiced in the world’s conflict-intense regions? How can we move forward together, building greater communication, appreciation, and reconciliation with others? How can we build a deeper democracy and more peaceful society? Dr. Minch’s lecture, “Healing Conversations: How to Build Peace in Divided Communities” will address these questions and give answers to them. Professor Minch is both a scholar of conflict and conflict transformation, and also an experienced peacebuilder and teacher of peacebuilding and reconciliation in various global locations. Seating is first come, first served and doors open at 12:30 p.m. Free parking for this event will be available in parking lots Q, P, and R. If you need ADA accommodations, please contact the Accessibility & Disability Services by phone at 801-957-4659 or by TTY at 801-957-4646.
