Our proposed conference examines how diversity on courts may impact judicial processes, social and economic inequalities and public opinion in the U.S. and around the world. We understand diversity and inclusion in a broad sense including gender, race, ethnicity and socio-economic status. Participants specialize in American Politics, Law, Comparative Politics and Political Theory.
Here at the School of Politics and Global Studies we are the fortunate recipient of a gift from Brian Kopf, former J.P. Morgan Chase Bank vice-president and a Political Science alumnus. One use we make of the gift is to host workshops organized by members of the School’s research working groups where we invite leading researchers from around the world to visit Tempe and share with our undergraduate and graduate students, as well as faculty, their ongoing work.
