This past Friday the University of Alabama hosted an exciting conference on "Dissenting Voices." The speakers were Professors Susanna Lee of Georgetown University on "Detours and Dead Ends: The Narrative Lines of Dissent in Bowers v. Hardwick and Lawrence v. Texas," Kenneth Mack of Harvard Law School on "Depression and Dissent: The Idea of Structural Inequality in the Civil Rights Politics of the 1930s," Richard Pildes of New York University on "Dissent in the Legal Academy and the Temptations of Power," Ravit Reichman of Brown University on "The Ethics of an Alternative: Counterfactuals and the Tone of Dissent," and Mark Tushnet of Harvard Law School on "Why Societies Don’t Need Dissent (As Such)." The podcasts of all of their lectures are here.
