This work, calls upon the civil rights and education justice communities to expand their vision of school discipline law and policy reform to include the often ignored, yet deeply impacted lives of parents, caregivers, and families.  Deploying what critical race theorists define as storytelling or counter-narratives, the authors share Nyla’s story to bring forward an all too common deployment of education laws—flown under a banner of safety, order, maintenance, and well- being of school communities—that reinforce anti-Black racism.

In this episode, we sit down with UCLA Law Professor Susan Genco to learn more about her illustrious career in the music industry and discuss contemporary issues in music law.

UCLA School of Law is home to the Critical Race Studies specialization which provides students with legal frameworks to understand how racism permeates through United States institutions, and provides a lens through which to understand current social disparities. In 2021, UCLA Law launched CRT Forward, an initiative created to track legislation aimed at forbidding the teaching of Critical Race Theory at the local, state, and federal levels. This episode of Dialectic highlights the work of the CRT Forward initiative and its goals, in conversation between CRT Forward Director, and CRS Alum Taifha Alexander, and Critical Race Studies student Nicole Powell.

In this episode we explore the intersections of race and intellectual property with Dean Deidre Keller and Kimberly Tignor, uncovering how such a lens can empower creators of color and reorganize distributions of wealth.
