On April 7th, JCRED will host a panel symposium to highlight the work of scholars who are exploring the legal dimensions of Racial Capitalism and what lies beyond its horizon. Three scholars will offer a brief presentation of their forthcoming articles, followed by a moderated discussion about how Racial Capitalism informs their legal analyses.
The Journal of Civil Rights & Economic Development (JCRED) is soliciting short blog-style essays from St. John’s University School of Law Students to be published on our website, JCRED.org.
As a journal dedicated to social, racial, and economic justice, the Journal of Civil Rights & Economic Development (JCRED) is soliciting articles for Racial Capitalism: An Elaboration in Legal Scholarship, our forthcoming symposium issue. This issue will explore the legal dimensions of our capitalist political economy and its systemically racist nature. We find that the multiple crises experienced in the United States today are uniquely driven by our capitalist system in which racism—anti-Black and anti-indigenous racism in particular—compounds economic, class-based oppression. We also see an opportunity for broader articulation and analysis of Racial Capitalism within legal scholarship.
In light of the latest murder in yet another series of white supremacist violence against black citizens, the Journal of Civil Rights & Economic Development has signed on to a letter of solidarity with our classmates in the Black Law Students Association (BLSA) and with all students of color who face varying degrees of systemic racism on a regular basis. We are deeply grateful for the leadership BLSA has taken during these traumatic times to prepare these statements for student organizations.
