Haub Law Professor Bridget Crawford’s forthcoming book, Social Movements and the Law: Talking About Black Lives Matter and #MeToo, co-authored with Lolita Buckner Inniss, Dean and Professor, University of Colorado Law School, will be published by the University of California Press.

Black Lives Matter and #MeToo are two of the most prominent social movements of the U.S. in the twenty-first century. On the ground and on social media, in reality and virtuality, more people have taken an active stance in support of either or both movements than almost any other in the country’s history. Social Movements and the Law brings together the voices of twelve scholars and public intellectuals to explore how Black Lives Matter and #MeToo unfolded—separately and together—and how they enrich, inform, and complicate each other.
