DESCRIPTION:The Labour Law and Development Research Laboratory welcomes Pro
 fessor Lolita Buckner Inniss\, Southern Methodist University Dedman School
  of Law\, Texas.\n\nKindly note that this conference takes place during a 
 plenary of the Property Law course. RSVP lldrl.law [at] mcgill.ca by Novem
 ber 9.\n\nAbstract\n\nWhile slave-owning students at Princeton\, a college
  in the northern U.S. state of New Jersey\, rarely constituted a majority 
 of students\, they were often a large plurality of the students in the per
 iod before the U.S. Civil War. Because of Princeton’s historic role in edu
 cating southerners\, it has sometimes been referred to as the most souther
 n of the Ivy League schools. So many students from the U.S. South enrolled
  at Princeton during the first several decades of the college that one obs
 erver wrote that one might take Princeton for a “Southern college slipped 
 from its geographical moorings.”\n\nThis talk challenges the idea of “the 
 North” as a place of black freedom in the antebellum years by discussing t
 he extent to which and whether Princeton behaved like a southern instituti
 on in its speech and actions concerning slavery and emancipation.\n\nThe s
 peaker\n\nLolita Buckner Inniss is a Professor of Law and a Robert G. Stor
 ey Distinguished Faculty Fellow at Southern Methodist University Dedman Sc
 hool of Law in Dallas\, Texas. Her research addresses geographic\, histori
 c and visual norms of law\, especially in the context of comparative const
 itutionalism\, gender and race.\n\nHer current major research project is a
  book manuscript titled The Princeton Fugitive Slave: James Collins Johnso
 n\, an account of race\, gender\, slavery and the law at Princeton Univers
 ity.\n	\n	She is the author of dozens of articles\, essays and other writing
 s\, including her recent contribution to International Law's Objects (Oxfo
 rd University Press)\, a volume addressing the legal and metaphoric aspect
 s of various objects in international law.\n\nDr. Inniss received her unde
 rgraduate degree from Princeton University and her J.D. from the Universit
