             Welcome  to our summer 2025 digest. We look forward to seeing many of you back in the office
             next month as Emory Law resumes classes. Feel free to stop by the Program Coordinator's office
             (G500) on the fifth floor to introduce yourself or to share ideas and questions about how you
             can  engage with our ongoing  projects. Read below for information about our summer
             workshop, recent publications, incoming visiting scholars, ongoing Oral History Project, and
             some  personnel changes.





             Last month, we  were pleased to host a very productive workshop with the University of
             Witswatersrand at Emory, attended by colleagues from University of Kwazulu-Natal, Wits
             University, and University of Tulsa. Collaborators from the UK and Canada participated via
             Zoom.  The project will continue into the semester, and we plan to compile and publish the
             results of our research. Two participants have already published pieces based on their
             presentations - see below.



                                                        After the workshop, Dr. Ting Xu (Professor of
                                                        Law,  Essex University) published a piece
                                                        drawing   on   vulnerability theory  and
                                                        highlighting the intersection between public
                                                        and private law on the UK Constitutional Law
