Professor Silbey received her Ph.D. in Political Science from the
University of Chicago and post-graduate training in ethnography in the
Sociology Department of Brandeis University. She is most well known
for her work on law in everyday life, although she has written about
attorney general's offices, limited jurisdiction courts, and alternative
forms of dispute resolution including negotiation and mediation. Her
current research looks at the roles and conceptions of law in scientific
laboratories, comparing the place of law in expert communities and
popular culture. She is also conducting a longitudinal study of
engineering education, following a cohort of students through four
different engineering schools. Professor Silbey is the past
President of the Law and Society Association, and a fellow of the
American Academy of Political and Social Science. Her publications
include <i>The Common Place of Law: Stories from Everyday Life</i> (with
Patricia Ewick), <i>In Litigation: Do the 'Haves' Still Come Out
Ahead?</i> (edited with Herbert Kritzer) and soon to appear a two volume
edited collection of essays on <i>Law and Science.</i> She will
speak Monday, October 15, on "Governing Green Laboratories: Trust
and Surveillance in the Cultures of Science." <br><br>
See you Monday at 4:00 pm!<br>
