IIPSJ Co-Sponsors 2025 Race + IP Conference

The Institute for Intellectual Property and Social Justice (IIPSJ) is excited to announce that it is a co-sponsor of the 2025 Race + IP Conference.

Race + IP is a conference dedicated to cultivating community and collaboration around the study of race, coloniality, and intellectual properties. The fifth anniversary conference, Race + IP ’25: Abolitionist Futures, scheduled for April 17-19, 2025 at the University of Pittsburgh, asks what it means to think about the transformative justice term “abolition” alongside “intellectual property,” or perhaps more aptly “knowledge governance.” 

As a conference speaker, IIPSJ Founder and Director Lateef Mtima will support this important conversation, aspiring to encourage a shift in the socio-legal conceptualization of intellectual property as space to be policed and imagining how it can be reimagined through new frameworks that emphasize reparation without punishment. 

Registration is free, and attendees can participate in person or virtually.
