Work Law as Privatized Public Law Series: On Critical Wage Theory

During this period of racial and economic reckoning, calls for racial solidarity in movements for livable wages and safe, dignified work are resurgent. With Prof. Ruben Garcia's Critical Wage Theory as a touchpoint, a panel of organizers and scholars will explore crosscurrents in contemporary organizing and the future of public/private tensions in work law.

This program is available by Zoom webinar only for Alumni and outside guests. Brooklyn Law School students and faculty are strongly encouraged to attend in person.
