The artists featured in Radical Women have made extraordinary contributions to the field of contemporary art, but
little scholarly attention has been devoted to situating their work within the social, cultural, and political contexts in which it was made.
Hundreds of artists, including such major figures as Judy Chicago, Keith Haring, Jenny Holzer and Robert Mapplethorpe, mobilized to create powerful responses to the epidemic then and since, but
little scholarly attention has been paid to the work that resulted.
For instance, one might expect comments: 1) identifying ethical problems in legal scholarship that are given too
little attention; 2) identifying the most important or urgent ethical problems in legal scholarship, even if they are already given
attention; 3) asking questions about the definition of «scholarship» or «legal scholarship,» what counts as legal scholarship, and what kinds of norms, if any, should apply to writing by law professors as law professors but outside
scholarly forums, such as tweets, blog posts, «law professors» letters,» op - eds, and so on; 4) proposing specific ethical norms for legal scholarship, especially those that might, as it were, be part of a Restatement or code of the ethics of legal scholarship; and 5) raising general questions, positive or critical, about what the conference should try to achieve or whether it is possible to achieve anything at all.
