In the second in a series of human rights seminars, 2020 Scholar-in-Residence Wolfgang Kaleck leads a discussion on the power of social movements in the fight against impunity. Victor Goode, Professor at CUNY School of Law, will also participate.

Kaleck is a human rights attorney at the forefront of the legal fight to hold powerful individuals, corporations, and governments around the world accountable for human rights abuses. He is Founder, General Secretary, and Legal Director of the European Center for Constitutional and Human and Rights (ECCHR). His most recent book is Law Versus Power: Our Global Fight for Human Rights. Goode has practiced in the areas of affirmative action, housing, and other civil rights issues. Before joining the Law School faculty, he served as Executive Director of the National Conference of Black Lawyers, founded the Affirmative Action Coordinating Center, worked as part of the legal team that filed amicus briefs in three landmark affirmative action cases (Bakke, Weber, and Fullilove), and taught in the Urban Legal Studies Program at the City College of New York.
