Vice Dean Karen Bravo took part in a panel discussion during the Association of American Law Schools annual meeting in Washington, D.C. The talk was part of a session on Economic Globalization and Governance, and took place on January 2.

The discussion, "Democracy and Democratic Deficits in Economic Globalization and Governance" was the outgrowth of a volume titled, When Business Harms Human Rights: Affected Communities that are Dying to be Heard. Vice Dean Bravo was joined on the panel by the volume's co-editors Professor Jena Martin of West Virginia University College of Law, and Tara van Ho, Lecturer at University of Essex School of Law. The book, which will be published in Spring 2020, uses reported narrations to discuss and analyze the experiences of individuals and communities from around the world, and examines the impact that business activities have on their lives.
