Presented by the LBA Diversity & Inclusion Committee
Advancing an interdisciplinary approach to critique the law and its role in preserving and maintaining structural inequality, CRT focuses on analyzing several recurrent themes in the law:
(i) interest convergence (the concept that any “progress” on racial issues is purely the product of whether it contributes to the status quo of inequality);
(ii) revisionist history (a critique of how history has been de-contextualized to advance a distorted historical narrative of America’s racial progress);
(iii) colorblindness and post-racialism (a critique of “neutrality” and the role it plays in the maintenance of systemic subordination of people of color); and
(iv) structural determinism (the proposition that racism is structural and adaptable so that societal change is incremental and limited).
Speaker: Professor Cedric Merlin Powell, Wyatt,Tarrant & Combs Professor of Law Distinguished Teaching Professor University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law
