Professor Kunal Parker, Miami Law’s associate dean for intellectual life and dean’s distinguished scholar, recently published an essay, “What Originalism Can Teach Historians: History as Analogy, Means-Ends Tests, and the Problem of History in Bruen,” in the Notre Dame Law Review. He also co-organized a conference at Oxford University titled "Law as Historicized Critique: Celebrating Chris Tomlins," a conference dedicated to the exploration of themes in the work of Christopher Tomlins, a legal historian at Berkeley.
Parker’s teaching areas and interests include American Legal History, Estates and Trusts, Immigration and Nationality Law, and Property. In addition to his recent book, The Turn to Process, (Cambridge University Press), 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).
