Past Conference Topics
RebPsych Conference
RebPsych was inspired by RebLaw, the annual Yale Law School conference that began in 1994 shortly after the publication of the eponymous work Rebellious Lawyering (1992) authored by Gerald P. Lopez, a law professor and clinician who inspired a generation of lawyers to rethink how best to serve individuals who are disempowered and undocumented. To read about Lopez's Rebellious Lawyering and the scholarship it has inspired among poverty law practitioners and community organizers, please visit rebelliouslawyeringinstitute.org
RebPsych covered topics such as Challenging Immigration Detention of traumatized people and individuals with cognitive, intellectual, or developmental disabilities; Insights on Power: A Panel Discussion on Involuntary Treatment and Informed Consent; Harm Reduction and Discretion: Fighting Client Criminalization for Self-Managed Abortion; and Policing Psychiatric Crises in Urban Emergency Departments: An
Ethnographic Study.
