Professor Soucek Selected to Participate in University of British Columbia Seminar

Professor Brian Soucek was selected to be one of 12 professors who will participate in a three-week seminar at the University of British Columbia this summer on “Beauty and Why it Matters.” The seminar is jointly sponsored by the UBC Philosophy Department and the American Society for Aesthetics. Professor Soucek’s participation will be based in part on his article “Aesthetic Judgment in Law,” which was published last year after being selected for the Harvard/Stanford/Yale Junior Faculty Forum.

Professor Soucek holds a JD from Yale Law School and a PhD from Columbia University. He has clerked for U.S. District Court Judge Mark. R. Kravitz in Connecticut, and Judge Guido Calabresi of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. His primary teaching and research interests are antidiscrimination law, civil procedure, constitutional law, and refugee/asylum law.
