Athena D. Mutua

My work is inspired by much of the activism (both recent and historical) around the pursuit of human dignity, democracy, justice, and prosperity. My scholarship focuses specifically on issues related to racial, economic, and gender justice. In it, I seek to map the mechanisms by which law, together with other social structures, works to both hinder and support these justice pursuits.” PROFESSOR AND FLOYD H. AND HILDA L.
