It’s amazing the number of people I meet who “always knew” they would become scholars or lawyers, attend Harvard or Yale. My path to academia was quite different. I grew up largely without parents from the age of 13, and it took countless mentors to make academia fathomable.

Incredibly sad to learn about the passing of Professor Lani Guinier. She was a pathbreaking scholar who somehow managed to remain humble. I met her in New Haven in 2015 and gushed over her latest book. She said she worried whether it was one of the “good ones.” I told her it was.

In “Racial Time,” I study how inequality can shape people’s experiences and expectations of time and how Supreme Court decisions (e.g., Shelby County, SFFA v. Harvard) enact dominant ideas about time. Forthcoming in @UChiLRev . Draft posted on @SSRN .
