"Mapping Environmental Justice"
Are you interested in critical and social justice perspectives on your first-year classes? Would you like to get to know more about the scholarship of King Hall professors? The Critical Perspectives on First-Year Classes speaker series is for you!
The purpose of the “Critical Perspectives” talks, sponsored by the Aoki Center, is twofold. First, we seek to expose first-year students to critical perspectives that often do not make it onto the syllabus of regular first-year classes. Given the high level of interest among King Hall students in social justice, this exposure will connect many students to the concerns and perspectives that brought them to law school in the first place.
The second goal of the series is to connect King Hall students more closely with their faculty. King Hall has an extraordinarily accomplished faculty with expertise in areas of race, immigration, gender, and sexuality. Through these lunch talks, interested students can learn more about the cutting e…

Bodenheimer Lecture/Racial Justice Speaker Series Presents Professor Aziza Ahmed
Racial Justice
REGISTER HERE for In-Person, Essential Worker, Expendable Family?
From, COVID-19 to a lack of access to abortion, public health crises are shining light on the legal arrangements that shape the ability of individuals to live, that make people sick, or die. Families, in their myriad manifestations, are integral to ensuring that the response to public health crises are robust. It is in the family, and within households, for example, that we saw the transmission of COVID and it is families that bear the burden of carework in the context of healthcare. Yet, time and again, public health actors neglect to consider how families matter. The impact of this obfuscation is clear: poor health outcomes, especially for poor families of color. Drawing on insights from political economy and feminist legal theory, this talk will explore why and how the family has been exceptionalized in the response to public health crises.
Aziza Ahmed’s scholarship examines the intersection of law, politics, and science in the fields of…
