SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Aziza Ahmed
DESCRIPTION:This presentation is from the first part of my book which recovers the story of feminist AIDS activists in the 1980s.  These advocates succeeded in changing the scientific definition of AIDS used by the CDC.  They targeted the CDC because of the direct relationship between the medical definition of AIDS and the distribution of benefits by the Social Security Administration.  In recovering this lost story\, I am to show how social movement actors disrupt scientific consensus to bring about redistributional goals. \n_____________________________________________________________________________________ \nProfessor Aziza Ahmed recently joined UCI Law from Northeastern University School of Law. Prof. Ahmed has been Visiting Professor at the University of Chicago Law School\, Bennett Boskey Visiting Professor at Harvard Law School\, visiting scholar at the Harvard Law School Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy Biotechnology\, and Bioethics\, and Law and Public Affairs Fellow at Princeton University. \nAziza Ahmed’s scholarship examines the intersection of law\, politics\, and science in the fields of constitutional law\, criminal law\, health law\, and family law. This work advances multiple scholarly conversations including those related to law and social movements\, race and the law\, and feminist legal theory. \nShe is the author of the forthcoming book Feminism’s Medicine: Law\, Science\, and Social Movements in the AIDS Response\, published by Cambridge University Press\, and co-editor of the forthcoming handbook\, Race\, Racism\, and the Law\, published by Edward Elgar Publishing.  \nProf. Ahmed earned a B.A. from Emory University\, a J.D. from the University of California\, Berkeley School of Law\, and an M.S. in Population and International Health from the Harvard School of Public Health.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Roseanna Sommers
DESCRIPTION:Consent is often celebrated as liberatory: at its best\, it allows individuals to choose for themselves how to live a good life. But consent is also a tool wielded by the powerful to stifle individual agency. This is particularly so\, I argue\, when consent is operationalized with legalistic and formalistic instruments such as consent forms. In this research\, I study the relationship between consent and victim-blaming\, and identify legal practices that serve to disempower individuals\, all in the name of providing them with choice. \n_____________________________________________________________________________________ \nProfessor Sommers‘ research examines people’s intuitions about legal concepts such as consent\, autonomy\, and moral responsibility. Her work is part of a growing interdisciplinary field known as experimental jurisprudence\, which borrows empirical techniques from the social sciences to clarify core concepts in the law. \nHer work asks questions like: How do people determine whether someone is acting voluntarily? How do we think about interferences to autonomy\, such as coercion\, deception\, incapacity\, and manipulation? Are our legal doctrines defensible in light of empirical insights from the social and cognitive sciences? Her research has been published in peer-reviewed journals such as Science\, PNAS\, and Psychological Science\, as well as in law reviews such as the Yale Law Journal and the Stanford Law Review. She is currently co-leading a study funded by the National Science Foundation on the psychology of compliance. \nPrior to joining the Michigan Law faculty\, Prof. Sommers taught at the University of Chicago Law School as a Harry A. Bigelow Teaching Fellow. She is the founder and director of the Psychology and Law Studies (PALS) Lab\, which conducts original research at the intersection of psychology and law. She also co-organizes the Chicago/Michigan PALS speaker series\, a virtual workshop hosted in collaboration with the University of Chicago Law School.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Fernanda Pirie
DESCRIPTION:How do laws come to constrain the exercise of power? The rule of law is a contemporary ideal\, much discussed in the context of democracy\, social justice\, and human rights. But historically laws have been used to constrain arbitrary power in many different contexts and within many different political regimes. A question rarely addressed is how laws ever came to do this in the first place. What is it about sets of rules\, mere words\, that they can act as a constraint on political power\, and who ever thought that they might? \nIn this presentation\, I argue that the core idea of the rule of law has ancient roots\, almost as ancient as law\, itself. But the idea arose in different ways in very different contexts\, as did laws\, themselves. Comparing some of the earliest examples – from Mesopotamia\, Rome\, and the Islamic world – reveals that centuries ago religious lawmakers and citizens’ assemblies established laws that could\, at least in principle\, have been used to hold political leaders to account. So\, too\, did powerful rulers\, themselves. Yet others\, notably in China\, made concerted and ultimately successful efforts to avoid even the idea of the rule of law. This history speaks to very contemporary concerns about the legal ideals we pursue in the modern world. \n_____________________________________________________________________________________ \nAn anthropologist specializing in Tibetan societies\, Fernanda Pirie uses both ethnographic and historical methods to study and compare legal practices and texts. She has argued for a new anthropology of law\, which engages both with legal theory and legal history: The Anthropology of Law (OUP\, 2013). This builds on themes and debates developed in the Oxford Legalism project\, which brought together scholars from anthropology\, history\, and other disciplines to compare wide-ranging empirical examples (Legalism\, OUP\, 4 vols).

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Adam Goodman
DESCRIPTION:Historians have written extensively about immigration policy and the so-called immigrant experience. Many works in the field have framed migration as a linear process in which people left their countries of origin\, settled in the United States\, and created new lives for themselves. Other studies have focused on how laws and the growth of the bureaucratic state during the twentieth century have shaped the country by controlling who can enter and who can remain. Yet\, many migrants’ experiences have been defined by neither assimilation and integration nor exclusion and deportation. This paper argues that immigration policies since 1965 have increasingly left people in a precarious\, often prolonged\, state of limbo—from undocumented immigrants living under threat of expulsion and people stuck in detention\, to asylum seekers waiting as their cases wind their way through labyrinthine bureaucracies and individuals with provisional protections that could be stripped away at a moment’s notice. By examining the four-decade history of Temporary Protected Status (TPS)\, this paper highlights the illiberal effects of immigration policies that liberal politicians have championed in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. \n_____________________________________________________________________________________ \nAdam Goodman is an associate professor in the Department of History and Latin American and Latino Studies Program at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC). His research and teaching interests include migration history and policy; Mexican American and Latino/a/x history; border and borderlands history; and recent US\, Mexican\, and Central American history.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: 2021-22 ABF Post-Doctoral Fellows
DESCRIPTION:Hardeep Dhillon: Reimagining the Racial Origins of Modern American Immigration and Border Control\nHardeep Dhillon is a socio-legal historian of immigration and border enforcement with a secondary field in gender and sexuality studies. Her first book manuscript follows the journeys of South Asian immigrants who sought to immigrate to the United States in the early twentieth century. By recasting histories of immigration through microhistories from below\, Hardeep orients our imaginaries of immigration and border enforcement through the journeys of immigrants rather than imperial state legislation. This approach expands the literature on immigration and border enforcement to account for the full scope of restrictions that immigrants encountered prior to and after their arrival in the United States\, and the transimperial intersections through which these restrictions emerged. It also reveals how enhanced legal restrictions developed through contestations between immigrant and state officials rather than through unilateral state directives. \nView Hardeep’s ABF profile here. \n_____________________________________________________________________________________ \nSonya Rao: Teaching Quality Communication: The Need for Professional Solidarity Between Legal Professionals and Interpreters in the United States\nIn this presentation\, I will share my broader research program and intellectual project. First\, I will summarize findings from my dissertation project\, Privatizing Language Work: Interpreters and Access in Los Angeles Immigration Court (2021)\, in which I argued that the erasure of everyday communication labor in immigration courts creates poor working conditions for courtroom professionals and allows contractors to aggressively prioritize profit over quality language services. Next\, I describe how the results motivated me to design my current project\, an investigation into current approaches to the language barrier in clinical legal education. I will share preliminary findings from the first 20 interviews from this research\, including the need for more significant support of professional legal interpreters by legal professionals. I conclude with a discussion of a common thread throughout my work\, a call to transcend current notions of “language access” to theorize quality communication as a public good. \nView Sonya’s ABF profile here.

SUMMARY:New York Fellows Virtual Lunch Program
DESCRIPTION:This event is free to registerees.  \nFeatured Keynote: “The Emotional Influence of Gruesome Photographs in the Courtroom” with Janice Nadler (ABF Research Professor; Nathaniel L. Nathanson Professor of Law\, Northwestern Pritzker School of Law) \nLawyers\, judges\, and juries are faced with a barrage of evidence and arguments displayed in visual form – sometimes gruesome in nature. Courtroom images can influence beliefs\, emotions\, and judgments in ways that have yet to be empirically examined. Join us as we explore how emotionally evocative modes of visual evidence can affect the psychology of jurors’ decision making processes—through influence on emotions\, attention to evidence\, and legal judgments at the individual and group level. The results of two experiments conducted by ABF Research Professor Janice Nadler have shown that gruesome photographs of a murder victim can increase the propensity to convict\, with an increase of conviction dependent on race. This presentation will further examine the extent to which gruesome photographs limit juror attention to evidence rousing negative emotions\, and present potential safeguards that may mitigate the prejudicial effect of this type of visual evidence.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Justin Richland
DESCRIPTION:The founding principles of U.S. law regarding Native Americans\, first articulated in the 1830s\, define them as “domestic dependent nations” who retain powers of self-government but who are also in a “state of pupilage\,” to the federal government in a relationship like that of a “ward to its guardian.” This ambiguous status has offered cover for the shifting winds of U.S. political sentiment\, leading sometimes to calls for the assimilation of Native peoples\, sometimes for their rights to self-determination. Despite these shifts\, tribes like the Hopi Nation in Arizona persist in their claims as sovereign nations who Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act\, this relationship has been executed pursuant to rules requiring “meaningful tribal consultation” whenever U.S. agencies or their grantees propose actions that may impact Native peoples and their significant cultural interests. Disagreement persists about meaningful tribal consultation and its efficacies. \nIn this paper I draw on my recently published monograph\, Cooperation without Submission: Indigenous Jurisdictions in Native Nation-US Engagements (U Chicago Press\, 2021)\, to highlight how insights from indigenous studies\, and legal and linguistic anthropology afford a humanistic empirical analysis of some of the consultation interactions I have observed\, since 2012\, between the Hopi Nation officials and their Federal counterparts. Unpacking those interactions in light of Hopi theories of knowledge and authority\, through a theory of legal language as jurisdiction\, I argue that these consultations enact Hopi and Anglo-legal norms of “significance” in complex\, contradictory ways. I suggest that understanding “meaningful tribal consultation” and the US legal status of Native Nations more generally\, requires understanding how indigenous nations enact the conditions of their own spheres of indigenous authority and the relations and refusals to settler colonialism this jurisdiction inevitably entails. \n_____________________________________________________________________________________ \nJustin Richland\, associate professor of anthropology\, studies Native American law and politics in the contemporary moment – particularly the interface between tribal nations in the U.S. and the U.S. federal and state governments. \nIn 2014\, he was appointed Adjunct Curator of North American Anthropology at the Field Museum of Natural History and in 2015 he was appointed to his second term of service by the Hopi Tribal Government as Associate Justice of the Hopi Appellate Court. From 2006-09 he served as Justice Pro Tempore. In 2016\, he became a member of the research faculty of the American Bar Foundation. His publications have appeared in several leading peer-reviewed outlets\, including most recently in the Annual Review of Anthropology\, Law and Social Inquiry\, and the Maryland Journal of International Law. He has authored two books\, Arguing with Tradition: The Language of Law in Hopi Tribal Court (U. Chicago Press\, 2008) and Introduction to Tribal Legal Studies (with Sarah Deer)\, 3rd Edition\, (Alta Mira Press\, 2015). In addition to his scholarship and advocacy\, he also co-curated an exhibition of the art of Rhonda Holy Bear and Chris Pappan\, two contemporary Native American artists\, which opened at the Field Museum of Chicago in November 2016. He was named a J.S. Guggenheim Fellow in April 2016. \nRichland earned his J.D. at UC Berkeley and his Ph.D. at UCLA. From 2005-11\, he was a professor in the Department of Criminology\, Law and Society at UC Irvine. He left California for the University of Chicago (2011-18) and is excited about being back home on the West Coast where he joins a vibrant community of law and social sciences scholars. He’s also looking forward to reaching the campus’s large population of first generation college students and hopes to open more opportunities for professional degrees and interests in native North America.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Kali Rubaii
DESCRIPTION:Strontium is a radioactive heavy metal. It appears everywhere\, but especially in the relationship between a boy named Azraq and myself; between the Cold War and the War on Terror; and between the US and Iraq. Tracing Strontium through these relationships\, I ask: What are the responsibilities of tracing connections forged by war? How can we narrate stories of violence that implicate the narrator? How can we love less violently? In this talk\, I suggest that it is necessary to close the gap between assigning responsibility and actually taking\, and that self-implication simplifies rather than complicates the ethics of research\, writing\, and material action. \n_____________________________________________________________________________________ \nDr. Rubaii is a cultural anthropologist who studies the materiality of structural violence\, especially ecological arrangements between living and nonliving things. Her purpose is to sharpen resistance strategies that target the vulnerable nexus between coercive power and the physical world. Her most recent project explores the ecological impacts of less-than-lethal counterinsurgency in Iraq. Her book project\, Counterinsurgency: The Ecology of Coercion\, examines how displaced Anbari farmers in Iraq survive war-made landscapes designed to preclude possibilities for organized resistance. Working through five modes of coercion (preemption\, divide-and-conquer\, suspense\, abstraction\, and counter-resurgence)\, this ethnography follows militarized relations among humans\, ghosts\, plants\, animals and molecular agents. Her next ethnographic project approaches the corporate-military enterprise of cement production in post-invasion Iraq\, and how the cement industry enforces global regimes of race\, class\, and extraction. Thanks to an AAUW fellowship\, Dr. Rubaii will be spending much of her time in Fallujah and Ramadi this year.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Natasha Iskander
DESCRIPTION:Skill—specifically the distinction between the “skilled” and “unskilled”—is generally defined as a measure of ability and training\, but this paper uses a study of Qatar’s booming construction industry in the lead-up to the 2022 World Cup to show that skill distinctions are political constructs used to limit freedom\, narrow political rights\, and even deny access to imagination and desire. The employment of the migrant workers who have built the World Cup infrastructure has been regulated by the kafala system\, a legal system that codified practices of bonded labor. This paper looks at the history of the kafala system over the past two centuries to trace how the political language of skill has been incorporated in Qatar’s legal system. Qatar is often represented as a place outside history\, a lost stretch of desert that joined the modern world only after the discovery of oil and gas in the mid-twentieth century. This paper challenges this representation\, and shows that the contemporary kafala system\, along with ongoing efforts to reform it\, was forged through the political definitions of skill that traveled along dynamics of global economic exchange and political interconnection. More recent international advocacy efforts in defense of migrant workers\, which led to an overhaul of the kafala system between 2016 and 2020\, in fact only reproduced the tiered definitions of personhood and freedom associated with different categories of skill that had long been built into Qatar’s legal structure. \n_____________________________________________________________________________________ \nNatasha N.

She looks at the ways that immigration and the movement of people across borders can provide the basis for the creation of new knowledge and of new pathways for political change.  She has published widely on these questions\, looking specifically at immigration\, skill\, economic development\, and worker rights\, with more than 30 articles and book chapters on these topics.  Her first book\, Creative State: Forty Years of Migration and Development Policy in Morocco and Mexico (Cornell University Press\, ILR imprint\, 2010)\, looked at the ways that migrant workers transformed the economic development policies of their countries of origin. Her forthcoming book\, Does Skill Make Us Human?: Migrant Workers in 21st Century Qatar and Beyond (Princeton University Press\, 2021)\, examines the use of skill categories to define political personhood\, in ways that have become increasingly salient with the hardening borders and the pressures of climate change.  \nDr. Iskander’s research has been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation\, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation\, the MacArthur Foundation\, the Social Science Research Council\, the Qatar National Research Foundation\, and others. She has held positions as a fellow-in-residence at the Zolberg Institute for Migration and Mobility at the New School for Social Research\, at the Center for Advanced Studies of the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University\, and at the Global Research Institute at University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.

DESCRIPTION:Register with the ABA \n1:00pm PT / 2:00pm MT / 3:00pm CT / 4:00pm ET \nFellows CLE Research Seminar (CLE Requested): “Democracies and International Law” with: \n\nTom Ginsburg\, ABF Research Professor; Leo Spitz Professor of International Law\, University of Chicago\nRachel Cichowski\, Professor\, Department of Political Science and Law\, Societies & Justice Department\, University of Washington\nDongsheng Zang\, Associate Professor of Law\, University of Washington School of Law\n\nModerated by: \n\nDavid Tang\, Managing Partner\, Asia\, K&L Gates\n\nDemocracies and authoritarian regimes have different approaches to international law\, grounded in their different forms of government. As the balance of power between democracies and non-democracies shifts\, it will have consequences for international legal order. Human rights may face severe challenges in years ahead\, but citizens of democratic countries may still benefit from international legal cooperation in other areas. Based on the recent publication of Democracies and International Law by ABF Research Professor Tom Ginsburg\, this research seminar surveys the state of democracy-enhancing international law\, and provides ideas for a way forward in the face of rising authoritarianism.

SUMMARY:Oregon Fellows Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:This event is free to registerees.  \nJoin us after the presentation as we welcome new Fellows! \nFeatured Keynote: “Alternative Legal Professionals and Access to Justice: Failures\, Successes\, and an Evolving Innovation” with Stephen Daniels (ABF Research Professor) \nAccess to justice is an endemic problem and the traditional solutions have long shown themselves to be inadequate. As the 2017 Oregon State Bar Futures Task Force said\, “Despite more than two decades of efforts to encourage pro bono and unbundled legal services\, the problem has grown.” This underscores the need to think boldly about potential “innovations” for attacking the problem. An idea once anathema (even odious) to the legal profession is gaining traction (mostly in western states\, Oregon among them) –trained\, licensed non-lawyers authorized to perform “substantive law-related work” without an attorney’s supervision. Boldness\, however\, doesn’t assure success. Pursuing this innovation necessarily involves a leap of faith; but if states are seen as laboratories for innovation\, then tracking and analyzing the evolution of this bold idea in different states will provide insights into its future\, shape\, and workability. Despite the demise of the Washington State LLLT program\, the innovation itself has taken on a life of its own and is evolving – perhaps in unforeseen ways.

DESCRIPTION:This event is free to registerees.  \nFeatured Keynote: “Halfway Home: Race\, Punishment\, and the Afterlife of Mass Incarceration” with Reuben J. Miller (ABF Research Professor; Associate Professor\, University of Chicago Crown Family School of Social Work\, Policy\, and Practice) \nEach year\, more than half a million Americans are released from prison and join a population of twenty million people who live with a felony record. Professor Reuben Miller\, a chaplain at the Cook County Jail in Chicago and now a sociologist studying mass incarceration\, spent years alongside prisoners\, ex-prisoners\, their friends\, and their families to understand the lifelong burden that even a single arrest can entail. What his work revealed is a simple\, if overlooked truth: life after incarceration is its own form of prison. The idea that one can serve their debt and return to life as a full-fledge member of society is one of America’s most nefarious myths. Join us to hear Professor Miller’s research exploring the notion that America must acknowledge and value the lives of its formerly imprisoned citizens.\n\n\n\nThe Fellows gratefully recognize:

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: 2021-22 ABF Doctoral Fellows
DESCRIPTION:Brandon Alston: “The Camera is My Weapon:” How Black Men Use Cellphones to Negotiate Safety and Status Amid Police Surveillance\nCivilians frequently capture black men in cellphone-generated videos depicting police violence. Yet\, existing research ignores how black men use cellphones to mitigate risk during police encounters and the impact cellphone recording has within black communities. In this talk\, I examine how the threat of police violence shapes black men’s use of cellphones during police stops and the social dynamics that emerge from cellphone recording. Drawing on ten months of fieldwork and 70 in-depth interviews with black men living on the Southwest side of Chicago\, this study finds that vulnerability to police violence shapes men’s appropriation of cellphones to negotiate their safety and status as men. Armed with their cellphones as an instrumental tool to contest police violence\, men use their cellphones to protect against institutional and interpersonal acts of harm\, a strategy I refer to as “protective monitoring.” While monitoring police for safety\, men also use cellphones as a symbolic resource to project a multidimensional expression of manhood tied to fatherhood\, citizenship\, and redemption. By deploying their cellphones during police interventions\, men mitigate some of the consequences of criminalization\, appeal to dominant gender ideals\, and perform resistance to police as a community service. \nView Brandon’s ABF profile here. \n_____________________________________________________________________________________ \nIsabel Anadon: Interior Immigration Enforcement: Structural Mechanisms & the Punishment of Migrants in the United States\nThe regime of mass incarceration in the United States and the nation’s system of immigration and border enforcement are imagined as two distinct forms of state policing and punishment. However\, advocates\, historians and legal scholars argue that the U.S. deportation and detention center system is an extension of the carceral state. My research heeds these concerns and situates the entangled development between the current system of mass incarceration and immigration control particularly as it relates to the nation’s interior in the United States. More specifically\, this presentation provides evidence of a relationship between immigrant detention centers openings and prison building since 1980. For this study\, I build a novel dataset merging detention centers initiation dates with prison facility openings. Using a rare-event logistic regression model\, I provide evidence of how these institutions shape local community characteristics. Preliminary findings point to potential harmful socio-economic outcomes in places with high-level detention center development. \nMore generally\, this research pulls from my dissertation project\, Interior Immigration Enforcement: Structural Mechanisms & the Punishment of Migrants in the United States\, where I develop a framework to explicate how the mechanisms of interior immigration enforcement situate in local level immigration laws and policies; detention center proliferation; and the overly complex and taxed immigration court system. \nView Isabel’s ABF profile here. \n_____________________________________________________________________________________ \nAlex Reiss-Sorokin: The Costs of Access to Legal Information\nAlthough court decisions and legislation are considered public\, lawyers\, legal professionals\, and researchers depend on commercial services to access and effectively use them. This talk focuses on the costs of accessing legal information by investigating the development of one commercial service: Lexis. In the late 1960s\, before Lexis was one of the two dominant legal databases used in the United States\, it was a legal research system developed by a group of Ohio lawyers to improve access to legal information for Ohio lawyers. According to the vision of the Ohio Bar Automated Research (OBAR) organization\, the computer was to serve as an equalizer – eliminating differences in resources and status between lawyers. Based on ads\, internal reports\, conference presentations\, journal articles\, and correspondence\, this talk examines how a tool that was meant to expand access to legal information ended up making access more restricted and costly. This talk is part of a larger project that examines the ways in which legal information is made accessible and their implications on legal education and the quality and costs of legal services. \nView Alex’s ABF profile here.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Sydney Halpern
DESCRIPTION:During the third quarter of the twentieth century\, American biomedical researchers maintained a well-organized and fully entrenched regime for conducting experiments with inmates in U.S. reformatories and prisons. At the system’s core was the idea that participating in medical experiments was a vehicle for inmate rehabilitation. By making patriotic sacrifices for the greater good\, the story went\, the prisoner would undergo a redemptive transformation leading to social reintegration. Government-sponsored scientists and prison officials advanced these notions and with the assistance of a deferential press\, disseminated them to the broader public. \nThis presentation is part of a broader study of biomedical experimentation in World War II and early Cold War America published as Dangerous Medicine: The Story behind Human Experiments with Hepatitis (Yale University Press\, November 2021). Drawing on extensive archival research\, the book examines how elite U.S scientists established a moral framework that justified and normalized hazardous human experiments and won them access to custodial facilities for recruiting subjects. Researchers spun narratives that invoked dominant cultural imagery and appealed to the ethos and management concerns of institutional overseers. \nWhen arranging for experiments in prisons\, scientists promised participants certificates of service to be considered at inmates’ parole hearings. Multiple actors made the system of experimentation in prisons possible: university researchers; federal officials; wardens and other correctional officers; sympathetic journalists; and prisoners themselves. All cooperating parties promoted tales of inmate transformation\, advancing a view widely held till the 1970s: that conducting risk-laden medical experiments with prisoners was right and good. \n_____________________________________________________________________________________ \nSydney Halpern is a historical sociologist who studies biomedical science and the emergence of healthcare institutions and professions. Her recent work addresses moral and regulatory issues in human experimentation. Her recently published book\, Dangerous Medicine\, chronicles a thirty-year\, government-sponsored program in which American researchers deliberately infected people with hepatitis. The volume offers a sustained picture of how\, during World War II and the Cold War years\, scientists persuaded a large swath of the American public that hazardous human experiments were not only morally acceptable\, but also an exemplary expression of citizenship.  Halpern’s previous books include American Pediatrics: Social Dynamics of Professionalism (University of California Press\, 1988) and Lesser Harms: Morality of Risk in Medical Research (University of Chicago Press\, 2004).  Lesser Harms\, examining informal constraints on early vaccine testing\, won the Visiltear Award from the American Public Health Association.  Halpern earned her Ph.D. in Sociology at University of California\, Berkeley.  She has served as Professor of Sociology at the University of Illinois at Chicago\, and Vanderbilt University.  She is recipient of an Investigator Award in Health Policy Research from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation\, and a grant and multiple university fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities.  For Dangerous Medicine\, she received an award from the National Library of Medicine of National Institutes of Health.  Halpern is currently Lecturer of Medical Education at the Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities\, Feinberg School of Medicine\, Northwestern University.

DESCRIPTION:This event is free to registerees.  \nFeatured Keynote: “The Scandal of Predatory Cities” with Bernadette Atuahene (ABF Research Professor; Professor of Law\, Chicago-Kent College of Law) \nPredatory cities are urban areas where public officials systematically take property from residents and transfer it to public coffers\, intentionally or unintentionally violating domestic laws or basic human rights. Although this practice affects many urban areas\, US legal scholarship has almost completely overlooked the phenomenon of predatory cities. Against a backdrop of vulnerability\, certain legal and governance failures created structural opportunities for predation to advance at scale. Using Detroit as a case study\, this presentation identifies\, defines\, and examines this phenomenon\, which scholars and policy makers must begin to better understand and address. \nThe Fellows gratefully recognize:

SUMMARY:New York Fellows Virtual Lunch Program
DESCRIPTION:This event is free to registerees.  \nFeatured Keynote: “Civil Rights in America: A History” with Christopher Schmidt (ABF Research Professor; Associate Professor of Law\, Chicago-Kent College of Law) \nThe term “civil rights” has such a familiar presence in discussions about American politics and law that we tend to use it reflexively and intuitively\, but rarely do we stop to think about what exactly we mean when we use the term and why certain uses strike us as right or wrong. In this presentation\, Professor Christopher Schmidt tells the story of how Americans have fought over the meaning of civil rights from the Civil War through today. Through their struggles over what it means to live in a nation dedicated to protecting civil rights\, each generation has given the label new life and new meaning. Join the ABF to learn more about how the words we use to understand our world become objects of contestation and points of leverage for social\, political\, and legal action. \nClick here to purchase “Civil Rights in America: A History”\nEnter code SCHMIDT20 at checkout for 20% off! \nThe Fellows gratefully recognize:
