2021 Enlund Scholar-in-Residence Virtual Lecture with Prof. Zephyr Teachout

2021 Enlund Scholar-in-Residence Virtual Lecture with Professor Zephyr Teachout

About this Event

This year’s Enlund Scholar-in-Residence, Zephyr Teachout, will examine the effect of accumulating corporate power on economic inequality, environmental health, and citizen political power at the 2021 Enlund Virtual Lecture. Professor Teachout advocates for a renewed focus on antitrust law, enabling both the breakup of the modern monopolists and the creation of safeguards to prevent new ones from seizing power. Her talk will draw from her book, BREAK ’EM UP: RECOVERING OUR FREEDOM FROM BIG AG, BIG TECH, AND BIG MONEY (All Points Books, May 2020).

Zephyr Teachout is a scholar and activist. She teaches at Fordham University School of Law with a scholarly focus on political law, particularly corruption. She was one of the lawyers behind the lawsuit filed by Citizens for Responsibility in Government in Washington (CREW) against President Donald Trump for violating the Emoluments Clause by taking money from foreign governments through his business ventures. She also is known for her work as director of online organizing for Howard Dean’s 2004 Presidential Campaign, where she led the first technical team developing social media tools for supporters, many of which were used in President Obama’s 2008 online campaign. As the first national director of the Sunlight Foundation, she led several crowd-sourced investigative journalism projects, including a national campaign to expose the political connections behind earmarks. She also was a death penalty defense lawyer at the Center for Death Penalty Litigation in North Carolina and co-founded a non-profit dedicated to providing trial experience to new law school graduates.
