ANNOUNCING: CALL FOR EMERGING SCHOLAR SUBMISSIONS

Heterodox Economics Meets Law and Political Economy:

Reclaiming Democracy

Saturday, November 8, 2025

9:00am–5:00pm ET

John Jay College

524 W 59th St, New York, NY 10019

At our Fall 2025 workshop, we seek to feature multi-disciplinary and intersectional emerging scholarship reflecting on the relationships between politics, law, economics, and society. On the heels of the New York mayoral election, this workshop will be organized around the theme of “Reclaiming Democracy”.

  

In addition to highlighting the work of students and emerging scholars, this workshop will feature a panel discussion on the methods of law and political economy and keynote lectures by Kimberly Kracman and Zephyr Teachout on the role of left movements in bringing about economic democracy in the past and present.

Kimberly Kracman is an Associate Research Scholar in the Department of Sociology at Princeton University. Kim’s research uses the methods of historical sociology and economic history, critical accounting theory, stratification economics and conflict economics to study the origins, mechanisms, and justification of the distribution of wealth in the United States in the context of global systems of capital accumulation.

Zephyr Teachout is Zephyr Teachout is a Professor at Law at Fordham Law School where she focuses on the intersection of corporate power and political power. Her most recent book, Break 'em Up (2020), makes a case for reimagining the relationship between democracy and antimonopoly law.

If you are interested in presenting or attending, please note that, while the workshop and conference are free of charge and will include lunch and refreshments, we are unfortunately unable to provide support for travel or lodging.
