Global Thought Leaders: Asking Big Questions, Shaping New Ideas
The “Global Thought Leaders” series shows what kind of a community we are and want to be. The University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School is a vibrant intellectual community where debate is central to its values. At the same time, difficult global questions challenge our own assumptions and interrogate our values, but that is all a critical part of learning. In the current polarizing environment around the world, there is much skepticism about the value, and values, of a global legal education. The Law School’s leaders have historically made global engagement essential to its purpose. The importance of civil discourse and the centrality of open debate in understanding the truth is an inalienable part of the Law School’s global legal education. This series highlights global thought leaders who are pushing the boundaries of legal scholarship and practice.
