October 29: The Architecture of Desire: How the Law Shapes Interracial Intimacy and Perpetuates Inequality

In her new book, The Architecture of Desire: How the Law Shapes Interracial Intimacy and Perpetuates Inequality, Professor Solangel Maldonaldo examines how the law influences our most personal and private choices – who we desire and choose as intimate partners – and explores the psychological, economic, and social effects of these choices. Romantic preferences, as shaped by law, perpetuate segregation and subordination by limiting, on the basis of race, individuals' prospects for marriage and marriage-like commitments, as well as economic and social mobility. Author Professor Maldonaldo will be joined by discussants Professor Rose Cuison-Villazor, Professor Clare Huntington, and Professor Ela Leshem. Professor Kimani Paul-Emile will moderate.
