Description
In this episode, we examine how law schools have responded to calls to develop new curriculum and pedagogy that is critical, inclusive, and attentive to how race, power, and identity shape jurisprudence and the culture of law schools. Through conversations with Susan Sturm (George M. Jaffin Professor of Law and Social Responsibility), Kendall Thomas (Nash Professor of Law), and Professor Meera Deo (Southwestern Law School), the hosts explore the role of hiring practices, pedagogy and curriculum in law schools’ evolving anti-racism efforts.
