SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Deepa Das Acevedo
DESCRIPTION:As academia increasingly comes under attack in the United States\, The War on Tenure steps in to demystify what professors do and to explain the importance of tenure for their work. Deepa Das Acevedo takes readers on a backstage tour of tenure-stream academia to reveal hidden dynamics and obstacles. She challenges the common belief that tenure is only important for the protection of academic freedom. Instead\, she argues that the security and autonomy provided by tenure are also essential to the performance of work that students\, administrators\, parents\, politicians\, and taxpayers value. Going further\, Das Acevedo shows that tenure exists on a spectrum of comparable employment contracts and she debunks the notion that tenure warps the incentives of professors. Ultimately\, The War on Tenure demonstrates that the job security tenure provides is not nearly as unusual\, undesirable\, or unwarranted as critics claim. \nTo register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \n\nDeepa Das Acevedo is a legal anthropologist. Her research blends ethnographic fieldwork and anthropological theory with doctrinal and policy analysis to provide new insights about legal rules and institutions. She studies employment regulation (particularly faculty tenure as an employment protection)\, the law and politics of India (focusing on next-generation law & policy organizations)\, and methodological and theoretical developments in the anthropology of law. She is the Editor of the peer-reviewed journal PoLAR: Political and Legal Anthropology Review\, a past Trustee of the Law & Society Association\, and has held leadership positions in the Association of American Law Schools\, the American Anthropological Association\, and the Association for Political and Legal Anthropology.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Cary Martin Shelby
DESCRIPTION:To register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \n\nCary Martin Shelby’s research generally encompasses regulatory issues related to hedge funds and other pooled investment vehicles. It has utilized a range of theoretical frameworks to scrutinize the blurred distinctions between public and private investment funds resulting from financial innovation\, retailization\, and systemic risk. Her research has since expanded to explore intersections between race and systemic risk by examining the extent to which racism poses a threat to financial stability in ways that should be recognized by financial regulators. Shelby has published articles in Northwestern University Law Review\, California Law Review\, The Business Lawyer\, Boston College Law Review\, among other journals and periodicals. Shelby is currently under contract with Cambridge University Press for her forthcoming book project\, Markets for Black Pain: Law and Marginalization as a Commodity.
