From Professor Paolo Farah, University of Tulsa School of Law: Upcoming Webinar: Taxation, Racial Capitalism, and the International Rule of Law: From Colonial Slavery to Global Governance

Taxation, Racial Capitalism, and the International Rule of Law: From Colonial Slavery to Global Governance Wednesday, July 22, 2026 12:00–1:30 PM EST Online This webinar brings into dialogue two important recent books: The Human Toll: Taxation and Slavery in Colonial America by Anthony C. Infanti (University of Pittsburgh School of Law) Racial Capitalism and International Tax Law: The Story of Global Jim Crow by Steven A. Dean (Boston University School of Law) The discussion will explore how legal and fiscal systems have historically contributed to structures of domination, exclusion, and racialized inequality, from the fiscal architecture of colonial America to the contemporary global tax order. By placing these works in conversation, the webinar examines the relationship between taxation, racial capitalism, historical injustice, and the rule of law, while reflecting on the capacity of legal institutions to address past and present inequalities. The event will be chaired by Paolo Davide Farah (The University of Tulsa College of Law), who will serve as moderator and discussant. Carliss N. Chatman (SMU Dedman School of Law) will also serve as discussant. The conversation may be of particular interest to scholars working in taxation, international law, comparative law, legal history, civil rights, critical legal studies, race and the law, socio-economics, political economy, international human rights, and related fields. Participation is free and open to all.
