Scholar MISSION
The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Minority Issues seeks to speakon behalf of minorities by reaching out to the larger community, to
inform them, to share with them. to educate them and to grow with
them.
The goal of The Scholar is to give all minorities a "voice" in
the
publication of a legal journal on issues affecting all minorities.
In today's climate, where affirmative action is seen as a necessary
evil, and where discrimination is viewed as a problem of the past,
this scholar journal wishes to extend and further the discourse of
issues that touch upon race, ethnicity, class, gender and sexual
identity, as well as the countless other labels applied to individuals
and groups in our society.
Our primary goal is to educate ourselves and, in the process,
offer some different perspectives not often allowed or sought after in our
society. The Scholar members and staff will strive diligently and honestly to
produce articles that will offer insights into the daily struggles of
minorities today.
The articles published in The Scholar will be building blocks for an understanding of the issues that face all of us today. These building blocks will form bridges: bridges to bring together all the members in our society, bridges to connect all groups that comprise our community and bridges to access self-discovery and an understanding of the other.
We wish to add to the existing discourse on the role of the law
and the influence of one state over others hegemony in the lives and identities
of minorities. We plan for the work of this journal to be transformative: it
will educate, inform and enlighten those who participate. We are creating an
environment that will allow everyone to learn, to teach, to share, to work
together and to contribute to the legal and educational communities.
The Scholar is a sign of hope for a promising future and for a
better understanding of all members of our society.
