Nia works on race and healthcare policy and that will be the focus of her presentation. The second panelist is Jennifer Lee, who is an Associate Professor at Temple Law where she directs the Social Justice Lawyering Clinic, which represents low-wage workers and immigrants (the focus of her discussion).
