                                    Professor Kimberle W. Crenshaw, UCLA School of Law

In 1989, a group of law students, graduates and professors convened the Critical Race Theory (CRT) Workshop in Madison, Wisconsin.  One of its central organizers, Prof. Kimberle Crenshaw, will provide a retrospective account of the role of the workshop in generating key concepts and canonical works in the field.  The lunch address will also explore current advances, needs, and gaps in race theorizing and racial justice practice by deepening the interdisciplinarity and race conscious approach of the CRT Workshop.

A roundtable discussion that invites students, alumni, participating faculty, and practitioners to consider how race functions in normatively colorblind law schools and legal workplaces.  Practicitioners working in a wide range of legal settings, from law firms to public interest organizations, will examine how colorblind norms shape legal strategies and alternative advocacy approaches.  UCLA law students and alumni will provide insights on how race and racial difference operate in the law school environment under a colorblind legal regime.
