Law and Humanities, Co-Sponsored by Minority Groups and Women in Legal Education

Go Back

The value of law and humanities to the academy remains a contested issue, and this is true of legal storytelling as well.  However, what seems beyond dispute is that legal storytelling has never been more robust or vital. This panel explores storytelling’s vitality by focusing on a recent wave of narratives by law professors about the legal academy.  These “I” narratives consider a wide array of difference—from what it means to be a woman in the academy, to what it means to be a person of color in the academy, to what it means to be a lateral in the academy—and ask how this difference impacts scholarship, pedagogy and, yes, life.
