Rose Sheinberg Lecture with Imani Perry

The Rose Sheinberg Lecture Program invites a scholar working on cutting-edge issues of gender, race, and class to participate in a day of informal discussion, classroom teaching, and formal lecture to bring a variety of ideas, insights, and initiatives to the Law School community.

This year's speaker is professor and author Imani Perry. Beginning with her experience of studying race and the law as someone who lives with chronic disease disabilities, Professor Perry will offer thoughts on how the law not only consistently fails those who live with disabilities but has historically functioned as a disabling force in Black American life. She invites a consideration of how a racial justice-oriented disability jurisprudence might be pursued given our fraught history.  

A reception will be held immediately following the lecture in Golding Lounge.
