On November 29th Professor Rosemary Salomone spoke at Princeton University at a special session on Migration, Language, and Justice as part of the Mellon Sawyer Seminar on Global Migration: The Humanities and Social Sciences in Dialogue.

Her talk, “Language Rights and Migrant Education in a World Dominated by English,” focused on South Africa, India, and the Netherlands as three distinct migration settings where English increasingly influences education laws and policies that, together with the resulting legal conflicts, ignore the right of migrant students to a “meaningful” education.

Professor Vincent Di Lorenzo was invited to discuss his research on fintech lending by the Duke Law School Global Financial Markets Center.  His essay, “Fintech Lending Risks and Benefits”, appeared in the Center’s FinReg Blog on November 14, 2018. The essay discusses the public policy implications of risks and benefits of fintech lending documented by researchers, including Treasury Department proposals regarding financial inclusion and preemption of state law.
