Social Theory Working Group

The Program on Law and Social Thought announces with great pleasure the initiation of the Social Theory Working Group, a joint enterprise of graduate students and JD's here at HLS.  We are grateful to the ELRC and Dean Kagan for the funds supporting this exciting new program.

The graduate student part of the Group has convened; the JD part will take shape and begin work in the fall.

Meanwhile, we want to announce our first set of visitors to campus, selected and invited by the Graduate Program subgroup of the STWG.  Each visitor will hold a public discussion of an assigned reading at the date and time listed below.  Readings will be posted here in downloadable form and will be available for pickup at the desk of Terry Cyr (Hauser 406); we will also announce the places soon.
