Mission and programs · 2023

• With support from the University of California Berkeley School of Law, Classcrits produces the Journal of Law and Political Economy (JLPE), the flagship peer-reviewed journal for the burgeoning field of Law and Political Economy. In 2023 the Journal published its fourth volume and received over 27,000 visitors, indicating its robust audience and scholarly impact. The 2023 volume included a special issue on the 2022 Dakar Declaration, an action plan for addressing global constraints on Africas economic well-being. The 2023 volume also published a general issue, which included cross-cutting scholarship on law, economics, and history, as well as a book review symposium on French lawyer and legal scholar Jean-Philippe Robs 2020 monograph. The Journal significantly expanded its masthead in 2023, adding a Director of Operations, Fellow, and Copy Editor, and welcoming a new Managing Editor and two new Book Review Editors.

• We developed a major conference for early 2024, hosted and supported by Southwestern Law School, and organized a program of presentations by over 100 scholars and activists.

• ClassCrits sent representatives to the inaugural conference of the Critical (Legal) Collective, a new organization of scholars and activists committed to protecting multiracial democracy and academic freedom in higher education. We collaborated with members of that group to build support and solidarity for faculty facing political efforts to restrict truth and critical knowledge in teaching and scholarship.
