POLICING JIM CROW AMERICA: ENFORCERS' AGENCY AND STRUCTURAL TRANSFORMATIONS |
40 Law and History Review 91 (February, 2022) |
These districts are not usually protected by police--rather victimized and tyrannized over by them. No one who does not know can realize what tyranny a low-grade white policeman can exercise in a colored neighborhood. W.E.B. Du Bois Scholars widely agree that law enforcers came to serve white supremacy in the post-Civil War United States. More... |

Pittsburgh's Hill District ranked among the most important historically Black neighborhoods in America until the heart of the neighborhood was razed in 1956.

At its core, Critical Race Theory (CRT) provides us with a panoply of necessary tools and a lens through which to analyze the multilayered relationship between Black girls, their education, and the criminal legal system.

With 2020 in our rearview mirrors, it is impossible to reflect on that year without remembering the many ways grief was experienced in American society, whether or not you felt the grief yourself.

QUEERING REPARATIONS UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW: DAMAGES, SUFFERING, AND (HETERONORMATIVE) KINSHIP |

It is a long-standing principle of international law that every breach of an international obligation that results in harm gives rise to a duty to make adequate reparation. Reparations can take different forms, from the ideal of full restitution to the provision of satisfaction, and the payment of compensation. Notwithstanding reparation's main... |

From the early introduction of slavery to the United States, not only did the economic prosperity of slavery depend on extracting reproductive labor from Black birthing people, but so did the field of medicine.

Acute crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial meltdown exposed and exacerbated chronic racial wealth disparities.

When Asian immigrants first reached American shores in substantial numbers during the late 1800s, they were faced with a country that barely recognized Black citizens and a system that continually reinforced a Black--White binary.

57 Georgia Law Review 471 (Fall, 2022) |
The stereotypical American family is often seen as one man, one woman, and their child. However, this notion of the traditional family is changing. For centuries, familial matriarchs have assumed roles typically reserved for a child's biological parents. Specifically, African American grandmothers, aunts, and other female figures have served as... |

SOVEREIGN DEBT AND MORAL HAZARD: THE ROLE OF COLLECTIVE ACTION AND CONTRACTUAL UNCERTAINTY |
65 Journal of Law & Economics 311 (May, 2022) |
The ambiguous phrasing of pari passu (equal treatment) clauses in sovereign debt contracts has long baffled commentators. We show that in the presence of asymmetric information about a sovereign borrower's ability to pay, an uncertain clause gives rise to a collective-action problem among creditors that can reduce the sovereign's moral hazard.
