Please help me get the word out about the new websites for Legal Theory Blog and the Legal Theory Lexicon. Reposting here and on other social media sites is great. It would be especially helpful if law school faculty members could send an email to their colleagues with the new addresses.

Happening today! Hope you can join and even if not, you should read @mgraber1.bsky.social's insightful and thought-provoking book :)

I just posted the current version of my most recent Article, "Conceptual Gerrymandering and the Weaponization of SFFA" to @ssrn.bsky.social. Abstract and TOC are attached below. Comments and (good faith) critiques very much welcome and appreciated. 🧵 1/ papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

As a junior scholar, I'm admittedly a bit uneasy re posting before acceptance for publication. But revisions pushed me past journals' August cycle & yet I think the piece can help inform thinking about SFFA's mobilization in many problematic actions such as this news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/f...

@yuvrajjoshi.bsky.social has an uncanny ability to identify crucial issues at the intersection of law and racial equality and to provide deep analysis & helpful frameworks to understand complexity and stakes. Racial resentment (re which i've also written some) is another example. Important to engage

In “The Law of Racial Resentment,” I critique how SCOTUS validated racial resentment in SFFA v. Harvard and argue we need stronger legal/structural responses to counter resentment—not appease it. Now in @uclalawreview.bsky.social papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
