Workshops | The Vulnerability and the Human Condition Initiative
Workshops for the Vulnerability and the Human Condition Initiative are held throughout the year and give scholars an opportunity to share their work in a supportive and collegial environment. Each year, scholars working on a variety of traditional legal topics come together to explore how their analyses can benefit from the application of a vulnerability lens. Some topics recently considered include: globalization; labor, and the legal organization of work; the limits of social justice; business and corporate structures; the role of the family; and the need for environmental justice. Workshops are structured to allow for extended and meaningful participation by non-presenters and are open the public.
