Course Description: Law and Political Economy (LPE) is an intellectual and institutional movement of legal scholars and practitioners to study the role of law in constructing and reforming contemporary political economy. By drawing scholarly attention to the ways that economic concerns have shaped public law, and revealing the public dimensions of private law, LPE seeks legal tools to construct a more equitable political economy along class, race, and gender dimensions. The movement includes student groups at law schools all over the United States, its own regular programming and conferences, the Journal of Law and Political Economy, as well as a stream of publications in top law reviews. While many of the scholarly participants are based in North America, LPE has active chapters in South America, Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia.

This Focus Week Workshop will explore the predicates and possibilities of this new approach, discussing also what it can draw from and contribute to social mobilization against intensifying inequality, precarity, racialized and gendered injustice, and ecological destruction. Over the course of the week, the workshop will introduce students to the foundational theoretical approaches that inform LPE, core LPE scholarship in areas like antitrust, economic development, anti-discrimination law, and criminal law, and explore possible LPE interventions in Canadian law, policy, and legal scholarship.

The University may, at its discretion, assign the person of choice to give this Course/Teaching.
