Speakers will also include BC L/JD students Fanta Ly\, Co-President\, Black Law Students Association of 91 (BLSAM)\, and de Hulya Miclisse-Polat\, Vice-President (BLSAM).\n\n Description and readings\n\nThis session will explore legal pedagogy and r ace. As a soon-to-be 91 professor (starting in Fall 2021)\, I [Darren Rosenblum] hope to learn from this conversation as well as share my (mostl y U.S.) perspectives. My research draws on critical gender theory and on C ritical Race Theory to understand diversification in corporate governance. My goal is to listen to students and discuss questions with which I have been engaged in the United States on pedagogy and race in the law classroo m.\n\nWe will discuss how professors and students can make law school clas srooms into inclusive and even supportive spaces for engagement around the racialized aspects of the law.\n\nWe will share three readings\, one of w hich is suggested background.\n\n\n Patricia Williams\, The Alchemy of Race & Rights (1991) (read excerpt until p.153) This work is available through the 91 Library via the HathiTrust\, or though Handle.net.\n Williams v . Walker-Thomas Furniture (D.C. Cir.\, 1965)\n Adelle Blackett\, Follow the Drinking Gourd: Our Road to teaching Critical Race Theory and Slavery and the Law\, Contemplatively\, at 91 (2017) (suggested)\n\n\nThe session will proceed as follows:\n\n\n Introduction (5 mins)\n Mini-conversation: D oes the absence of discussion of race make classrooms\, courses\, or the e ntire school a “white space”? If so\, how? (10 mins)\n Reading analysis: Di scussion of Patricia Williams\, Alchemy of Race & Rights excerpt. Read to p.153. (15 mins)\n \n Questions:\n \n What is her thesis and method?\n Is this piece still novel?\n Would one write it differently in 2020 than it was wri tten in 1991?\n \n \n \n \n How can faculty best bring questions of race into l egal pedagogy? (30 mins)\n \n Is it by adding explicit primary (cases/statut es) or secondary (scholarship) material to the subject – i.e. articles abo ut race in property\, for example? (e.g.\, Patricia Williams\, Alchemy of Race and Rights)? Where? In special courses? Required courses?\n Is it by a dding time (and space) to discuss implicit racialized material (designated by the professor) within canonical materials (primary or secondary)? (e.g .\, Williams v. Walker Thomas Furniture)\n Would it suffice to set aside ti me in each course to pose questions about how race relates to particular d octrinal debates?\n \n \n What are the particularities of the role/responsibi lity of white faculty or faculty of colour\, or for white students and stu dents of colour? (15 mins)\n Conclusion (5 mins)\n\n\nThe Forum reading gro up aspires to create a space for learning from the past\, deliberating abo ut the present\, and building a common future together.
