Three UAF faculty members will participate in a panel discussion of gun safety from 5-7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 5, at Raven Landing.

The faculty participants are Valerie Gifford, assistant professor of clinical and community psychology;  Rob Duke, assistant professor of justice; and Alexander Hirschassociate professor of political science. The faculty members served on a similar panel in March.

Other panelists at the Oct. 5 event will include Karen Gaborik, superintendent of Fairbanks schools, and Kaden Monzingo, a recent high school graduate. Journalist Robert Hannon will moderate.

The event was organized by Fairbanks photographer Kate Wool. Wool is opening an exhibit on a related theme that evening from 5-9 p.m. at Well Street Art Co. Her images represent portraits of women, children and men wearing a target. For the exhibition, she worked in partnership with the For Freedoms group's 50 State Initiative.
