Discussion of "Miracle of the Black Leg," a series of meditations on identity, bioethics, and surveillance by the "Mad Law Professor."
How does an old story about a medical procedure relate to our legal definitions of identity today? Celebrated journalist and law scholar Patricia Williams (The Nation magazine's "Mad Law Professor") uses the lens of the law to take on core questions of identity, ethics, and race. The Miracle of the Black Leg offers a brilliant meditation on the tricky places where, science, ethics, and cultural slippage collide in our legal system struggles to keep up.
Join Librarian Senior Gregory Hankins for a discussion of Williams' ideas about how old laws adapt, or fail to adapt to our 21st Century world.
