Thursday, April 4 | 5:30 PM | Vanderbilt Hall, Room 220
The Rose Sheinberg Committee, NYU Law’s project on cutting edge issues of gender, race, and class, is excited to host Imani Perry, a MacArthur award-winning interdisciplinary scholar and writer giving fresh context to history and the cultural expressions forged by Black Americans in the face of injustice. She will be introduced by Britney Wilson.
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.
Reception to follow in Golding Lounge.
