Dialectic

Academic Success with Professor Pavel Wonsowicz and Professor Patrick Goodman.  On this episode, Professor Wonsowicz and Professor Goodman joins hosts Alyssa Sanderson and Nicole Powell to discuss best strategies to succeed in law school.

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.

We spoke with journalist Cerise Castle about telling stories that law enforcement doesn't want to be told.
