Stephen Perry has published numerous well-regarded articles on jurisprudence, political philosophy, and theoretical aspects of the law of torts.   He is particularly interested in the methodology of jurisprudence, the role of corrective justice in tort law, the morality of risk imposition, and the relationship between legal and moral responsibility. Perry is a sought-after lecturer and panelist. He has presented papers in many different venues, including the Colloquium for the Study of Law, Philosophy and Social Theory at NYU Law School, the Colloquium on Legal and Political Philosophy at University College London, and the Stanford Research Group on the Nature and Limits of Moral Responsibility. He recently delivered the first annual Leon Green Lecture in Jurisprudence at the University of Texas Law School, on the topic of "The Normativity of Law," and a Lecture in Jurisprudence at Notre Dame Law School, on the topic of "Law and Obligation." In the spring 2005 he was a visiting scholar at the European Institute in Florence, and in June he was a speaker at a conference on The Theory of Norms held at the University of Louvain-la-Neuve in Brussels.

A light lunch will be served.
