- How can we challenge inequality and pursue social change amid growing injustice, political uncertainty and systemic crises?
- What can law offer social justice struggles that are confronting these challenges, and what can academia and activism learn from one another?
This book launch brings Nani Jansen Reventlow and Jeff Handmaker into conversation about their recent books, and to share their experiences across the domains of academic research, legal practice and political activism. They will explore the possibilities and limitations of using law to challenge power, the connections between scholarship and collective action, and how there are opportunities, both for legal learning and for leveraging systemic change.
The event welcomes academics, practitioners, activists, students and anyone else interested in inequality, law and social change.
