    Fusco Distinguished Lecture Series: Tomiko Brown-Nagin “The Inheritance: a New Take on Confederate History”

    Dean Tomiko Brown-Nagin, a distinguished historian of the American Civil Rights Movement and professor of Constitutional Law, will discuss her forthcoming memoir, The Inheritance. She began the memoir in the wake of her leadership of the Harvard and Legacy of Slavery Project, which detailed the detailed the university’s direct, financial, and intellectual ties to human bondage. This book further complicates conventional wisdom about Southern and American history by discussing slavery in the family. The book will offer a new take on Confederate history and a distinct perspective on the “social construction” of race.

    A reception will follow the talk.

    UConn Law

    Reliability Insurance

    Liability for harm not only incentivizes individuals to exercise optimal care and guarantees compensation to victims; it also serves the interest of potential injurers. The prospect of liability equips subjects with a “right to be sued,” which enables them to credibly signal their prudence in potentially harmful interactions, thus substantiating trust among counterparties. Liability for medical malpractice, for instance, bolsters the reliability of physicians exactly because they would be the ones suffering the cost of inadequate treatment. Oddly, however, individuals and businesses regularly waive their “right to be sued” by purchasing liability insurance. At its core, insurance is thus in tension with the informational power of liability. This talk examines when and how insurance might undermine credibility and attenuate policyholders’ reliability in the eyes of actors with whom they interact—business counterparties, employees, investors, audiences, regulators or patients.
