Professor Britta Redwood Accepted to 2025 Harvard/Stanford/Yale Junior Faculty Forum

Assistant Professor of Law Britta Redwood has been accepted to present at the 2025 Harvard/Stanford/Yale Junior Faculty Forum, taking place June 2–3 at Harvard Law School. Her paper, “A Brutal Anomaly: Unfettered Ownership Rights and the Illegality of Transatlantic Chattel Slavery,” was selected through a competitive double-blind review process. The work argues that transatlantic chattel slavery was unlawful at the time it was practiced, challenging Eurocentric interpretations of treaty and customary international law and instead grounding its analysis in general principles of international law. This recognition places Professor Redwood among a select group of 12–20 junior scholars chosen to foster dialogue on pressing legal issues.
