ClassCrits XIII November 2020 Conference Postponed Until 2021

Monthly ClassCrits Remote Events Scheduled for 2020-21
(details below)

 ClassCrits will be scheduling monthly workshops and other events this fall and next spring in lieu of our annual in-person conference, which has been postponed to next year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Monthly events will focus on pandemic inequality, the new Journal of Law and Political Economy, and on democracy, social justice and the 2020 election, and will also include a junior-scholar work-in-progress online workshop and a blog symposium on racial capitalism.  For details, see below.  More information will also be posted on our website as planning for each event becomes finalized.  Feel free to contact us at classcrits@classcrits.org with questions, ideas, etc. for all of these and future events.
