Welcome Message

I am thrilled to be heading up the Law and Society Program in the School of Liberal Arts (SLA) at Philadelphia University.  Law and Society is a pre law major, and much more. It is an academic legal movement that examines law from an interdisciplinary perspective and trains students in critical thinking and problem solving skills. Law and Society also inculcates in students values associated with creating social change in their communities and fields of interest. At Philadelphia University, it is one of three new flagship programs in the SLA.

As someone whose work has focused on law and society since graduate school, it feels great to be chairing this Program.

See Koulish Book Forthcoming below:

"This is a powerful book that takes on an urgent and under-researched topic. Here in one place at last is an overview and analysis of the shifting landscape of immigration control and the increase of executive power in the U.S. that have characterized the last decade. It is a must-read, not just for immigration scholars, but for all who want to stay informed of the trajectory of American democracy."
—Kitty Calavita, University of California Irvine

Robert Koulish's timely and hard-hitting analysis lays bare how elites have brought home the ‘war on terror’ via immigration control policy... Koulish provides a unique set of tools to understand these developments and needed recommendations to advance a more democratic future. A must-read for immigrant advocates and civil libertarians.
—Ron Hayduk, City University of New York
