Critical Race Theory
Résumé
Critical Race Theory (CRT) are still little known in French Law schools. Born in the 1980s in the United States, the CRT movement questions through law the racial unspoken origins of the American legal system. This workshop will explore the genesis of the movement, its core contributions to legal theory and question its future prospects, among which the modalities of possible reception of methodological approaches proposed by the CRTs in French and European law. One thinks, for example, of the representation of minorities in the legal field or the critique of certain conceptions of republican universalism, which are still very much present in legal doctrine on this side of the Atlantic. The format of the workshop is very much informal as it aims to initiate conversations on these different aspects, gathering key figures of the movement in the US, European and French researchers and doctoral students.
