IOP Pritzker Fellow Vince Warren on "The Law as a Tool for Social Activism"

THIS SEMINAR IS OPEN TO CURRENT UCHICAGO STUDENTS ONLY

Tuesday, October 7

3:30-4:45pm

This seminar aims to explore several of the key social policy initiatives we’re seeing from the current administration and why we’re seeing them now. We will explore the populist rhetoric and policy goals of the administration's first year through three roles that my career has embodied: 1) (Activist Lens) as a response to successful social movement and cultural interventions of the last 10 years such as Black Lives Matter, Me Too and Occupy Wall Street; 2) (Lawyer Lens) the powerful tensions with constitutional protections and democratic principles; and 3) (Storyteller Lens) the dominant narratives and counter narratives and how they impact the policy initiatives.

Pritzker Fellows seminars are off the record and open to current UChicago students only. Seating in the IOP Living Room is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
