This workshop is devoted to reading and discussing new scholarly work on law and political economy. Outside speakers and members of the Harvard faculty will present forthcoming papers or recent work, both theoretical and programmatic, on the role of law in structuring social relations, power, and justice in market society.

Students will be required to submit short comments on papers presented over the course of the semester, to be submitted in advance of the presentations. Students who choose to do so may add a third credit for writing a substantial paper on a topic approved by the faculty teaching the workshop that semester.
