This is an interdisciplinary course that explores various aspects of property, both doctrinally and institutionally, from theoretical perspectives. The topics will be eclectic and wide-ranging, but we will pay particular attention to racial justice and other ways in which social justice intersects with property. Some of the topics include: whiteness as property; conquest and slavery; reparations; the body and body parts; squatters; restrictive covenants and social norms. We will also consider some of the traditional theories of property rights. I will make each week's readings available online prior to class for you to download.
For your information, I am the A. Robert Noll Professor of Law Emeritus, at Cornell Law School. Property and property theory are my primary areas of interest. I am co-author of the leading property casebook, Dukeminier, Krier, Alexander, Schill & Strahilevitz, and am also co-author (with Eduardo Penalver) of a leading textbook on property theory, An Introduction to Property Theory (Cambridge). I've been a visiting professor at other major law schools, including Harvard, Virginia, and most recently, Berkeley.
