As an interdisciplinary scholar, he explores the intersections of religion, identity, and politics, addressing issues affecting marginalized communities.

Dr Pilar Margarita Hernández Escontrías -

Pilar Margarita Hernández Escontrías (she/her/hers/ella) is a Chicana/Xicana educator who lives with faith that a more loving and just world is possible. The beneficiary of generations of sacrifice and activism, her research examines the intersections between law, inequality, and the history of racial capitalism from a critical race perspective and centering abolitionist vision and praxis. Across a range of sites and generating empirical data, Hernández Escontrías’s work considers how law constructs and upholds settler-colonial projects over time through the development of infrastructures we know as criminal and immigration law.

Conference Themes

Justice at the Intersections

1. Identity, Power, and Policy delves into how racism, sexism, and other identity-based power structures shape policies, access to resources, and socioeconomic outcomes. Sessions will address gender- and race-based discrimination in justice systems, disparities in housing, education, health, and the workplace, and explore advocacy for transformative policy reforms.
 
2. Environmental Justice highlights how the climate crisis exacerbates existing inequalities and the need for inclusive, adaptive strategies. Topics may include global displacement, climate migration, and the intersections of economic, environmental, and social and/or racial justice in climate action.
 
3. Legacies of Colonialism explores how colonial histories continue to shape systems of power, privilege, and resource allocation today. Topics may include land dispossession, Indigenous rights, cultural erasure, and decolonization efforts in policy, education, and advocacy.
 
4. Justice and Technological Change regards how fast-paced technological change promises to improve lives and serve justice, but its effects in terms of discrimination, disinformation, and privacy violations need to be taken seriously. Topics may include critical science and technology studies, societal implications of technology, and justice activism in the context of technological change.
