Overview
The program is designed to complement national efforts to develop a discipline of law and political economy by creating a community of legal scholars and students at Harvard who seek to make political economy an integral part of legal theory and education, and on training students and entry-level academics to think about how law shapes the distribution of power as it structures social relations in economy and society. The program will also develop a framework for cross-disciplinary interactions with other scholars seeking to center political economy in the social sciences and history, and to serve as a roundtable for concrete programmatic efforts at the law school aimed at transformation of areas critical to American law and political economy, such as labor law, racial capitalism, monetary policy, mass incarceration, or voting rights.SPECIAL PROJECTSReported Grants

Grants to this Grantee
for the Alternative Means for Dignity project
The Weatherhead Center for International Affairs supports comparative, international, and global research at Harvard University by bringing together researchers from across the university. Its Research Cluster on Comparative Inequality and Inclusion focuses on social dynamics fostering social inclusion and division. The project, Alternative Means for Dignity: Indigenous People in Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) and the Kichi Zibi (Ottawa River) Region in Eastern Canada, will shed light on how members of groups marginalized under neoliberalism embrace alternative criteria of worth that can protect their autonomy and dignity.
For a political economy conference
The Allen Lab for Democracy Renovation at Harvard University seeks to address threats to American and global democracies with research and field-building in support of robust political equality, fully inclusive institutions, and broader avenues for participation and connectedness, all of which rest on the material and social bases for human flourishing. This grant will support a major multidisciplinary conference to spotlight the new paradigm for political economy to replace neoliberalism that has emerged through the work of many scholars around the globe over many years. The event will bring together scholars, policymakers, journalists and storytellers, and practitioners to lay out, interrogate, and explore the new paradigm and its application to the most pressing policy challenges of our time.
for The People Lab
The People Lab aims to empower the public sector by producing cutting-edge research on the people of government and the communities they are called to serve. The lab studies, designs, and tests strategies to solve urgent public sector challenges in three core areas: strengthening the workforce, improving resident-government interactions, and reimagining evidence-based policymaking.
