As a legal journal dedicated to social, racial, and economic justice, the forthcoming symposium issue of the Journal of Civil Rights & Economic Development (JCRED) will explore the legal dimensions of our capitalist political economy and its systemically racist nature. To advance this conversation, JCRED seeks to highlight the work of scholars who are exploring the legal dimensions of Racial Capitalism and what lies beyond its horizon.

On April 7th, JCRED will host a panel symposium where three such scholars will offer a brief presentation of their forthcoming articles, followed by a moderated discussion about how racial capitalism informs their legal analyses. The selected authors and their articles are:

— Prof. Chaumtoli Huq, Integrating a Racial Capitalism Framework into First-Year Contracts: A Pathway to Anti-Capitalist Lawyering

— Prof. Marissa Jackson Sow, Whiteness as Contract

— Prof. John Whitlow, The Real Estate State and Group-Differentiated Vulnerability to Premature Death: Race, Class, Geography, Pandemic

Time: 9:45 AM – 11:00 AM
