LatCrit 2013 conference: “Resistance Rising: Theorizing and Building Cross-Sector Movements”

Here is a note regarding the 2013 LatCrit conference:

Colleagues,

The LatCrit 2013 conference, “Resistance Rising: Theorizing and Building Cross-Sector Movements,” is shaping up to be an intellectually vibrant event. Our community’s very own María Pabón López, Dean and Judge Adrian G. Duplantier Distinguished Professor of Law at Loyola University New Orleans College of Law, will present the Jerome Culp Jr. Lecture, headlining a conference featuring three plenary sessions, approximately forty concurrent sessions, and multiple works-in-progress presentations. Plus, LatCrit and the Society of American Law Teachers are once again teaming up to present the Junior Faculty Development Workshop (FDW) to assist our junior colleagues to enter and thrive in the legal academy. The FDW will take place on October 3, with the LatCrit conference following on October 4 and 5. We hope you will attend both events.

To ensure that we will see you in Chicago in October, please register soon by visiting the LatCrit web site (http://www.latcrit.org/content/2013-latcrit-conference-registration-information/).
