As the 2023–2025 Ruth and Mark Phillips Professor in Cultural Mediations in the Institute for Comparative Studies in Literature, Art, and Culture at Carleton University, Dr. Philip Kaisary led a teaching and research project examining the intellectual history of the Law and Literature movement. Titled, Directions and Dead Ends in the Law and Literature Movement, the project paid close attention to the field’s formation, goals, situation, theoretical investments, and ideological thrust while also elaborating a rationale for the reconstruction of Law and Literature along more globally inclusive and materialist lines. Information on some of the project’s various events and activities is below.
