GA Child Welfare Legal Academy 

Join us on Monday, February 17, 2014, at Emory Law School, from 5:00-8:00 p.m. for a presentation with Visiting Scholar in Practice, Professor Richard Ross. Professor Ross will conduct a one hour lecture with Q and A time to cover his photographs of children held in detention facilities, in 31 states, with over 1000 interviews, representing more than 200 facilities.  He was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship in 2007 to complete work on Architecture of Authority, a critically acclaimed body thought-provoking and unsettling photographs of architectural spaces worldwide that exert power over the individuals confined within them and the questions around justice which arise.  Ross's Guggenheim support also helped launch an investigation of the world of juvenile corrections and the architecture encompassing it.  This led to Ross's most recent work, Juvenile In Justice, which turns a lens on the placement and treatment of American juveniles housed by law in facilities that treat, confine, punish, assist and, occasionally, harm them.  A book and traveling exhibition of the work continue while Professor Ross collaborates with juvenile justice stakeholders, using the images as a catalyst for change.
