Do you want to use your critical thinking skills to make an impact on safety, security, and justice? Investigative careers span a range of roles within public and private agencies, from legal advocacy to data-driven crime analysis and frontline public safety. They share a focus on gathering evidence, analyzing information, and solving cases to protect people and assets. But there are so many types of investigative careers across various jurisdictions, so where do you start? 

Join us for a special panel + connect night dedicated to helping YOU get career-ready for your future in investigative careers. Come to either or both events—Learn something new and meet employers and alumni you can add to your network! Both events are open to all majors and academic years. Snacks provided. Casual Dress. No RSVP is required. Bring your friends! ALL students are welcome to participate!

McKenzie Hall 375

Please join the Department of History and the School of Law for a talk by Katrina Jagodinsky on “Petitioning for Freedom: Habeas Corpus in the American West, 1812–1924.”

Free and open to the public

Jagodinsky is Associate Professor of History at University of Nebraska Lincoln, where she is the founding director of the Digital Legal Research Lab and leads a Mellon-funded higher ed initiative in US Law and Race. She recently launched an award-winning database entitled Petitioning for Freedom: Habeas Corpus in the American West, 1812-1924 with support from the National Science Foundation and will complete her book based on the dataset with a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities in the coming academic year.

Jagodinsky will share findings from the Petitioning for Freedom dataset, particularly those coming out of Oregon archives, in addition to trends across the American West. These cases represent histories of petitioners who challenged enslavement, colonialism, coverture, deportation, incarceration, and institutionalization, demonstrating a remarkable range of legal mobilization among the most vulnerable.
