Published: Aug. 9, 2020, 8:02 p.m.

Anette met Dr. Peter Hammer through a webinar he presented, and immediately identified with much of his work and the overlap she saw with her work through Panhandle Twenty/20. Dr. Hammer was gracious enough to agree to be on the podcast, and had lots of great insights, and provided new lenses through which to view our complex adaptive systems.\n\nPeter J. Hammer was named the A. Alfred Taubman Professor of Law at Wayne State University Law School in fall 2018. Hammer has taught at Wayne Law since 2003 and is the director of the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights at Wayne Law. The Keith Center is dedicated to promoting the educational, economic and political empowerment of under-represented communities in urban areas and to ensuring that the phrase \u201cequal justice under law\u201d applies to all members of society. Hammer was instrumental in editing and compiling Judge Damon J. Keith\u2019s biography, Crusader for Justice: Federal Judge Damon J. Keith (2013).
