This two-day conference will explore the geographic predicates and consequences of contemporary legal practices. Particular emphasis will be directed toward the exclusionary and inclusionary dynamics that arise from current practices of politics, punishment, and culture. The conference features three leading scholars whose work concentrates upon the intersections between geography and law. Each of these guests will deliver a public presentation and lead a workshop discussion of working papers authored by graduate students at the University of Washington.
