Brill Law Enforcement Action in Democracy (LEAD) � 4 Hour

Instructor: Dr. Susan Woollen: I worked in higher education for over 30 years, and I retired from the Department of Criminal Justice Sciences (CJS) at Illinois State University in 2019. I was an administrator in CJS and cotaught a study abroad course on genocide using the Holocaust as a case study. I also taught classes in the College of Education at ISU. My early research focused on equity in education and women's leadership in higher education. Currently, a former colleague and I are conducting research that applies a criminological theory to explain the causes of genocide and how to prevent future cases. I have copresented results of this research to the American Society of Criminology, as well as to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. I am also actively involved with the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center as a docent, facilitator, and member of the Second-Generation Speakers' Bureau (my mother was a survivor of the atomic bomb that was deployed over Nagasaki, and I present her pre-war, war, and postwar experiences to community members).
