Call for Papers: Wills, Trusts and Estates Meets Gender, Race and Class

This conference seeks to bring the insights of progressive property theory to the area of inheritance and succession law and will address the many points of intersection between inheritance law, gender and race, social structure, wealth inequality, domestic violence, indigenous people’s rights, among others.  Recognizing that inheritance law is a society’s DNA, the conference will present both theoretical, historical and practical approaches to ways it has and continues to maintain social structure and ways it can change it.  It will be held September 27-28, 2013 at Oklahoma City University School of Law, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.  Call for Papers Deadline: August 1, 2013. Proposals should be 250 words long, sent to cspivack[@]okcu.edu
