The Martin-Flynn Global Law Faculty enriches the intellectual life of the UConn Law community through regular visits of internationally prominent scholars. These leading scholars hold the title of Martin-Flynn Global Law Professor for a period of three years while retaining their primary appointments at their home institutions. The program is generously supported by the Martin-Flynn International Endowment at UConn School of Law.
This year, UConn will welcome Prof. Isis Aparecida Conceicao, an expert on race, gender, human rights, and international law, from April 9th through April 19th. During her visit, we will host a series entitled Race and Gender in a Global Context. The series will explore the many facets of how race and gender are socially constructed both in the United States and globally, how issues of race and inequality impact policing in Brazil and the United States, how intersectionality can improve the quality of advocacy related to some of society's most pressing social justice concerns.
