About the Organizers
The Conference is being arranged by LPE at Harvard Law School and the LPE Project. The Program on Law and Political Economy at Harvard Law School is part of broader efforts to develop a discipline of law and political economy. Funded by the Hewlett Foundation, LPE@HLS is designed to foster a vibrant intellectual community of students and faculty, and to train students and entry-level academics to think about political economy as an integral part of law.
Themes of the Conference
This year’s conference focuses on two critical areas of LPE scholarship and practice:
- Law, Labor, and Class Power, which encompasses work on labor and employment, as well as examining law, class, and its interactions with race, gender, and other dimensions of subordination; and
- The Political Economy of Social Control, which engages questions related to carcerality, social welfare, and the imposition of social order and subordination in capitalist societies.
