SJP’s New C0-Director

The Systemic Justice Project (SJP) is excited to welcome Christina White as its new Co-Director. Christina will play a pivotal role in developing the project’s upcoming collaboration with the Thurgood Marshall Civil Rights Center at Howard University Law School, focusing on reparative justice. (More details to come soon.) She will also co-lead all SJP initiatives for at least the next year.

“Christina brings incredible insight, experience, and energy to the Project,” said SJP’s Faculty Director Jon Hanson. “I’m overjoyed to have the privilege of working with her this year to continue advancing the mission of the Systemic Justice Project through our events, classes, initiatives, and collaborations.”

Christina, a Fulbright Scholar from Australia, focuses her research on the systemic causes of mass incarceration and injustice within criminal law. Before coming to Harvard, she worked as a Public Defender in the Northern Territory of Australia, representing adults and children across the Top End including remote circuit courts. She has experience working on capital cases in the USA, volunteering at the Capital Post-Conviction Project of Louisiana. She has also worked as a Judicial Clerk at the Supreme Court of New South Wales, a Senior Solicitor at the Crown Solicitor’s Office, and a Volunteer Lawyer with the Police Powers Clinic at Redfern Legal Centre in Sydney, Australia.

Christina holds a B.A. (Hons)/LL.B. (Hons) from the University of Sydney, and an LL.M. from Harvard Law School. She can be reached at cwhite@law.harvard.edu.
