About ClassCrits:


ClassCrits is a network of academics and activists focused on economic justice.
 
Formed in 2007 in response to growing economic inequality, the name "ClassCrits" reflects our connections to other critical legal scholarship movements, such as critical feminist theory, critical race theory, LatCrit, and queer theory.
