Introduction to the special issue on empirical methods and critical race theory
Critical Race Theory (CRT) can be understood as an attempt to examine how race and racism are central rather than peripheral to law and legal thinking. Rather than viewing the long and ongoing story of race in American law as a series of unfortunate aberrations to an otherwise fair and impartial legal system, CRT sees racial subordination and the marginalization of other disempowered groups as foundational to how law and democracy are organized a…
Learning from Laurie Edelman
Faculty members, students, policymakers, practitioners, and laypersons will learn from Laurie Edelman's brilliant scholarship for generations to come. She developed not only a new theory and a conceptual vocabulary for understanding the interplay of law and organizations-think, "legal endogeneity," "managerialization of law," or "symbolic structures" (Edelman, 2016)-but also a more precise account of the mutual influence between law and society. …

Blinded by Sight: Seeing Race Through the Eyes of the Blind
Colorblindness has become an integral part of the national conversation on race in America. Given the assumptions behind this influential metaphor—that being blind to race will lead to racial equality—it's curious that, until now, we have not considered if or how the blind "see" race. Most sighted people assume that the answer is obvious: they don't, and are therefore incapable of racial bias—an example that the sighted community should presumabl…

Race, Law, and Health Disparities: Toward a Critical Race Intervention
In response to persistent and pervasive differences in health across racial and ethnic groups in the United States, there is a national commitment to achieving health equity, or optimal levels of health for all. Achieving health equity and eliminating health disparities is not without its challenges and will require interventions and approaches that focus on improving opportunity structures for racial/ethnic minorities. We provide a brief overvie…
Reflections on Bell's Hate Thy Neighbor
Jeanine Bell's Hate Thy Neighbor: Move In Violence and the Persistence of Racial Segregation in American Housing offers an in-depth look at the central role that violence has and continues to play in maintaining segregated housing patterns
Diversity in Practice: Race, Gender, and Class in Legal and Professional Careers
Response to Gómez and Omi and Winant
Laura Gómez and Michael Omi and Howard Winant offer thoughtful commentaries on Blinded by Sight: Seeing Race Through the Eyes of the Blind that expand an important discussion on the constructed and constitutive aspects of race. This response attempts to continue this conversation by putting the book's substantive innovations in dialogue with its methodological contributions
All That Glitters Isn't Gold
Do Blind People See Race? Social, Legal, and Theoretical Considerations
Although the meaning, significance, and definition of race have been debated for centuries, one thread of thought unifies almost all of the many diverging perspectives: a largely unquestioned belief that race is self-evident and visually obvious, defined largely by skin color, facial features, and other visual cues. This suggests that "seeing race" is an experience largely unmediated by broader social forces; we simply know it when we see it. It …
