Lunch talk with Sarah Camiscoli

Professor Medina Camiscoli will be speaking on her work in movement lawyering and her role in the IntegrateNYC lawsuit, which was the first lawsuit in the nation asserting a right to an antiracist education. The lawsuit challenges the many ways in which the State and City reproduce racial inequality through the NYC school system, including:
-maintaining a racialized pipeline to the City’s prime educational opportunities, which relegates many students of color to neglected schools;
-allowing schools to teach a white and Eurocentric curriculum that marginalizes people of color;
-failing to build and support a diverse educator workforce;
-and failing to provide adequate mental health supports to redress the racialized harms students experience in City schools.

Professor Medina Camiscoli writes at the intersection of constitutional law, education law, and youth social movements. She employs participatory law scholarship and movement law to include, elevate, and credit mobilized youth who reimagine law and prefigure radical democracies. She identifies as a proud first generation, LGBTQAI+ legal scholar–practitioner of the Puerto Rican diaspora, born and raised in New Jersey.
