"Quite simply, law is haunted by race, even when it doesn’t realize it. Allow me to go a step further. Much of our comfort with inequality generally—in terms of gender, class, wellbeing—is buttressed by our history of comfort with racial inequality.” papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
"And in this moment when the country is undergoing a racial reckoning, when law schools have pledged to look inward and become anti-racist and truly inclusive, it makes sense to begin with acknowledging how law schools continue to function as white spaces."
"In short, the end goal of this essay is to imagine the law school no longer as a white space (in terms of demographics, or what is taught, or how it is taught), but as a *white space* (as in a blank page, at once empty and full of possibilities)."
"More broadly, what would it mean to create a law school that is cosmopolitan and then some, a place where intellectual curiosity thrives, where change+challenge are celebrated,..& perhaps most importantly, where there is no need to tout inclusivity, bc everyone already belongs?"
