The only program of its kind in the United States, UCLA Law’s Critical Race Studies (CRS) program is the premier institutional setting for the study of the intersection between race and the law. Anchored by the most renowned scholars whose research represents the cutting edge of Critical Race Theory in legal scholarship and related disciplines, the CRS program at the UCLA School of Law has no parallel in American legal education. The cornerstone of the CRS program is an academic course of study, the CRS Specialization, which attracts the top students committed to racial justice scholarship and legal practice. Established in 2000-01, the CRS specialization has quickly emerged as a training ground for a new generation of practitioners, scholars and advocates committed to racial justice theory and practice. CRS is a multi-faceted program that augments the specialization’s coursework with research colloquia, symposia, inter-disciplinary collaborations and community partnerships in order to integrate theory and practice.

Twenty-five years after the attacks of September 11, 2001, the legal, political, and technological transformations initiated in response to the attacks continue to transform domestic and international law while reshaping the lives of communities targeted by racialized national security policies, immigration enforcement, policing, and war. This symposium will bring together scholars, advocates, and others to reflect on the legacies of the War on Terror and to imagine more just futures beyond its frameworks of fear, exclusion, and militarization.

Sponsored by the UCLA School of Law’s Critical Race Studies Program, International & Comparative Law Program, Institute for Technology, Law & Policy, Miñana Family Center for Immigration Law & Policy, and Promise Institute for Human Rights.

UCLA School of Law

Twenty-five years after the attacks of September 11, 2001, the legal and technological transformations initiated in response to the attacks continue to shape the exercise of executive authority. In the name of national security, the post-9/11 era ushered in sweeping expansions of state power. These developments transformed domestic and international law while reshaping the lives of communities targeted by racialized national security policies, immigration enforcement, policing, and war.

This symposium will bring together scholars, advocates, and others to reflect on the legacies of the War on Terror and to imagine more just futures beyond its frameworks of fear, exclusion, and militarization.

Sponsored by the UCLA School of Law’s Critical Race Studies Program, International & Comparative Law Program, Institute for Technology, Law & Policy, Promise Institute for Human Rights (UCLA Law's The Promise Institute for Human Rights (Los Angeles)), and Miñana Family Center for Immigration Law & Policy (Miñana Center).

On April 22nd, the CRS program co-sponsored Sisters-in-Law, a discussion featuring Kimberlé Crenshaw and Dorothy Roberts, moderated by Robin D.G. Kelley. The two scholars reflected on their memoirs, discussing how personal narrative intersects with critical race scholarship and what it means to build knowledge from lived experience, especially amid ongoing debates around race, gender, and history.

UCLA Law Review in collaboration with CRS had the privilege of hosting Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw in conversation with Professor Cheryl Harris to discuss her memoir, “Backtalker: An American Memoir”. Crenshaw is the pioneering scholar behind two of the most important frameworks in contemporary civil rights discourse — intersectionality and critical race theory.

“Backtalker” is the story of how her own life experiences led her to see what others overlooked, and why talking back, even when it was unwelcome, became central to both her identity and her career.

Books go on sale May 5th.

Proud to share two timely pieces featuring CRS 2018 alum and former Bernard A. and Lenore S. Greenberg Teaching Fellow (sponsored by CRS and the Williams Institute), Emmanuel Mauleón, now Associate Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota Law School.

In “A Letter from Minneapolis,” Emmanuel writes from inside an intensifying ICE enforcement campaign and names the gap between constitutional debate and constitutional life.
