When a head of government fires his nation’s air safety officials and planes begin dropping out of the sky with people in them, what do we call the deaths that ensue? Tragedy? Negligence? Something else?

Social murder, perhaps? New paper here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Because the repositories are meant to offer digital reading room and museum-like experiences, they also feature special collections. This season’s collections are color-coded and highlight the LAW on birthright citizenship, racial geography, and of course, state power.
