Speaker Series: Jerry Kang

Jerry Kang is Distinguished Professor of Law, Distinguished Professor of Asian American Studies, and was the inaugural Korea Times – Hankook Ilbo Endowed Chair in Korean American Studies and Law (2010-20). He served as UCLA’s Founding Vice Chancellor for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (2015-20).

Professor Kang’s teaching and research interests include civil procedure, race, social cognition, and technology. On race, he has focused on the nexus between implicit bias and the law, with the goal of increasing “behavioral realism” in legal analysis. He regularly collaborates with leading experimental social psychologists on scholarly, educational, and advocacy projects. He also lectures broadly to lawyers, judges, government agencies, and corporations about implicit biases and how to counter them.
