Richmond Law Review Symposium Fall 2024: Economies of Extraction
Friday, October 25, 2024
5.0 Virginia CLE credits, including 1.0 ethics credit.
The University of Richmond Law Review’s fall symposium, “Economies of Extraction: Labor,
Care, and the Carceral State,” will use a law-and-political-economy framework to discuss the
persistent inequalities that define contemporary politics. The program will consist of several
presentations, including an overview of current trends in worker surveillance, home-based care
work, and improving conditions for people who are incarcerated. The symposium will also
encourage the direct advocacy efforts that are possible to create a better future.
This Symposium will be held in-person. A virtual option will not be available.
