A grant to Yale Law School’s Information Society Project will support its Governance in Online Speech Leadership Series that informs the public debate about timely online speech and content moderation issues.

This grant is to sponsor a Tribal Resource Co-Management Workshop, co-hosted by the Forest School — part of the Yale University School of the Environment, which, since 1900, has addressed the world’s most critical environmental challenges through research, practice-based scholarship, and public engagement — and the Yale Center for Environmental Justice, which catalyzes partnerships and expands interdisciplinary research, teaching, and practice in environmental justice.

Legal scholarship and practice have been central to neoliberalism’s success as both a conceptual paradigm and a political and economic practice. While neoliberalism is most commonly associated with economics and the social sciences — particularly among thinkers such as Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman — it is through the co-opting of legal scholarship, doctrine, and practice that neoliberal concepts have had their most far-reaching effects. Law and Political Economy (LPE), an emerging approach in legal scholarship and pedagogy, is the defining response to neoliberalism in the current legal academy. The work funded through this grant has been focused on advancing this approach. Its objective is to develop LPE into a wide-ranging shift that will change the way law is studied and taught, the public discussion of legal and political institutions and power, and law’s role in policymaking and political mobilization.
