This work, calls upon the civil rights and education justice communities to expand their vision of school discipline law and policy reform to include the often ignored, yet deeply impacted lives of parents, caregivers, and families. Deploying what critical race theorists define as storytelling or counter-narratives, the authors share Nyla’s story to bring forward an all too common deployment of education laws—flown under a banner of safety, order, maintenance, and well- being of school communities—that reinforce anti-Black racism.

UCLA School of Law is home to the Critical Race Studies specialization which provides students with legal frameworks to understand how racism permeates through United States institutions, and provides a lens through which to understand current social disparities. In 2021, UCLA Law launched CRT Forward, an initiative created to track legislation aimed at forbidding the teaching of Critical Race Theory at the local, state, and federal levels. This episode of Dialectic highlights the work of the CRT Forward initiative and its goals, in conversation between CRT Forward Director, and CRS Alum Taifha Alexander, and Critical Race Studies student Nicole Powell.
In this episode we explore the intersections of race and intellectual property with Dean Deidre Keller and Kimberly Tignor, uncovering how such a lens can empower creators of color and reorganize distributions of wealth.

In this episode, we sit down with Professor Rebecca Wexler to discuss the intersection of privacy laws and the criminal justice system. States around the country are adopting new, stricter privacy laws, in response to a growing awareness of just how much personal and important data companies are keeping about consumers, and how vulnerable that data is. But those privacy laws have flaws that are significantly impacting our criminal justice system, and our ability to provide fair trials.
This episode is the second of a two-part series examining the complexity of addressing homelessness. In this episode, we speak to Shayla Myers of the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles to discuss her work litigating on behalf of the unhoused, as well as the legal and policy issues at play.
This episode is the first of a two part series examining the complexity of addressing homelessness. In Los Angeles in particular, as the voters were passing measures for significantly increasing the amount of money available to address homelessness and help people find housing, the city continued to enforce ordinances that violated the civil rights of people who did not have a home. In this episode, we speak to former UCLA Professor Will Watts, who headed up our Veteran's Legal Clinic, to discuss how both actions existed side by side, the perspectives people bring to addressing homelessness, and how to understand the problem holistically. In August 2019, Will Watts left UCLA and now works at the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles. In the next episode we continue speaking with Professor Watts, as well as hear from Shayla Meyers, who was on the legal team seeking the protection of the civil rights of people who were unhoused.
This episode is the second in a two-part series exploring California's past, present, and future in addressing the existential threat of climate change. In this episode, we explore California's entrée as a global leader on climate change with UCLA Law Professor Cara Horowitz, especially following the 2018 Global Climate Action Summit, an international climate conference spearheaded by former California Governor Jerry Brown. We also discuss some of the critiques of the Summit and of Governor Brown's environmental policies, particularly from environmental justice groups in California. Finally, we talk with Jessie Cammack, a 3L student at UCLA Law, about her research on the potential vulnerability of California's international climate actions to the dormant foreign affairs preemption doctrine.
