BU conference on racial bias and disparities in 1L curriculum

Last week, I traveled to Boston University School of Law to participate in an informative conference on " Racial Bias, Disparities and Oppression in the 1L Curriculum." Conference participants examined how the first year curriculum might better incorporate the perspectives of marginalized and oppressed groups. 

I was on a panel addressing civil procedure and discussed my article on integrating race, class, and gender into the civil procedure survey course. I also talked about some research on eligibility requirements for jury service and their impact on the representation of minorities on juries.

 Dean Angela Onwuachi-Willig

One of the highlights of the conference for me was visiting with BU's amazing dean, Angela Onwuachi-Willig, who began her academic career at UC Davis School of Law.
