In Miami Law’s podcast, The Explainer, Professor Kunal Parker talks about his book, The Turn to Process, which is expected to be published in November, 2023 by Cambridge University Press. The book explores the massive reorientation of American legal, political, and economic thinking between 1870 and 1970. Over this period, American conceptions of law, democracy, and markets went from being oriented around truths, ends, and foundations to being oriented around methods, processes, and techniques. Listen to the episode here.
Parker is Miami Law’s incoming associate dean for intellectual life. His teaching areas and interests include American Legal History, Estates and Trusts, Immigration and Nationality Law, and Property.
In addition to his forthcoming book, Parker has published two other books: Making Foreigners: Immigration and Citizenship Law in America (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2015), and Common Law, History, and Democracy in America, 1790 - 1900: Legal Thought Before Modernism (Cambridge University Press, 2011).
