    Dr. Emily Farris: “Power of the Badge: Sheriffs and Inequality in the United States”
    March 21, 2023
    7:00 pm

    The idea of sheriffs in America is both deeply mythologized and yet highly incomplete. Research by Dr. Emily Farris, associate professor in the Department of Political Science at Texas Christian University, examines how sheriffs represent key, fundamental tensions in politics in the United States. Farris’ focus on the intersection of politics and the administration of justice makes her work relevant for the on-going national discussion revisiting the role of policing in our communities.
