Incredibly honored to see the paper as "Highly Recommended"! The piece reinterprets tort rights of action as a mechanism of epistemic resistance, particularly for marginalized victims of corporate abuse. Substantive update coming soon after the ATS is now gutted in Cisco v. Doe. Stay tuned!

Excited to share my job talk paper "Postcolonial Private Law" now on SSRN where I bring international law into conversation with private law theory in arguing for empowering Global South people as rightsholders in transnational supply chains. Thanks for the shout-out @lsolum.bsky.social!

1/3 🚨 Gig giants use “independent contractor” labels to strip wages, sick pay, and social security—while admitting in filings that reclassification would gut their profits. In the Verfassungsblog, I break down this practice. Time for labor anti-avoidance rules? verfassungsblog.de/internationa...
