Spring 2013 Symposium Honoring the Work of Patricia Williams

Presented by Columbia Law School

Description:
Each year Columbia Law School's Center for Gender & Sexuality Law holds a symposium honoring a senior scholar in feminist, gender or sexuality theory whose work has had a significant influence on the legal scholarship in these areas. This year we have chosen to honor the work of Patricia Williams, whose writing across a range of disciplines has provoked us all to rethink the relationship of race to gender, property to personhood, law to narrative, and DNA testing to racial ethics. 2013 will also mark the 25th anniversary of the publication of one of her most influential essays: "On Being the Object of Property." The day is organized into three panels that are designed to focus on different aspects of Patricia Williams’ work: 1. Race, Gender and the Law; 2. Ethics and the Body; and 3. Law as Interdisciplinary Enterprise. The day will culminate with a lecture from Patricia Williams reflecting on the enduring meaning of "On Being the Object of Property."

Event Dates: 03/01/13 to 03/01/13
