The Social Justice Workshop: Law and Labor in the Global Economy will be held on October 18 from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. in Bannan 137. A reception will follow the workshop in the Strong Common room. Professor Ahmed White will be speaking on "Capitalism, Social Marginality, and the Rule of Law’s Uncertain Fate in Modern Society."

Professor White received his B.A. in Political Science summa cum laude from Southern University and A&M. He obtained his J.D. from Yale Law School.  He joined the faculty at the University of Colorado Law School in 2000, after spending three semesters as a visiting professor at Northwestern University Law School.

Professor White’s interest in legal scholarship and teaching was first developed during his time as a student at Yale Law School and during a two-year research fellowship that followed. Before entering teaching, he served as a legal analyst at the Louisiana State Senate. His scholarship centers on the intersection of labor and criminal law and on the concept of rule of law.
