an experiment in and for liberation

The Collaboratory for Black Legal Poethics, convened by Sarah Riley Case, brings together a collective of student researchers and engages community members to reflect on, theorize, and share stories about prefiguring Black liberation - and thus liberation for everyone - by conceptualizing law anew

The two current themes of the project are Black legal self-defence as a praxis between anarchy and the state, and the meanings of reparatory justice for the afterlives of slavery

The project is housed at the McGill Faculty of Law and funded by the Fonds de recherche du Québec
