02/20/2024
IU McKinney Professor Fran Quigley, J.D. ’87, had an opinion piece published in the Indianapolis Star. Professor Quigley took issue with a columnist who claims challenging the status quo in Indiana is hopeless and counterproductive.
Nothing could be further from the truth, Professor Quigley wrote in his response, published February 16. He outlined three characteristics of successful grassroots social movements.
IU McKinney’s Health and Human Rights Clinic students advocate for the rights of the poor, with a focus on individual and systemic barriers to accessing healthcare and the social determinants of health. Professor Quigley’s latest book, Religious Socialism: Faith in Action for a Better World, was published in September 2021. He is the author of several academic journal articles on social justice and human rights, multiple mass media articles and columns, and five books including this most recent work. Prior to his work at the law school, he served as the first Chief of Staff for Congresswoman Julia Carson and as the executive director of ACLU of Indiana. He edits the newsletter Housing is a Human Right.
