The Association is committed to developing LPE as a field furthering scholarly conversations and interdisciplinarity, and promoting LPE scholarship. The Association also seeks to develop scholarly work that is part of a larger project of imagining and working towards a more democratic, fair, egalitarian, inclusive, and sustainable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-e576ad08-9a04-43d8-ad2b-b9d3fcd32fe6\">To achieve these ends, ALPE serves as a membership organization that offers a broad annual conference, along with other gatherings and programming. The Association works to cultivate emerging scholars and engage with students and student groups. It aims to foster an engaged community, and to shape broader public understanding, to develop policy-relevant knowledge and contribute to reform efforts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-c3bc03e9-201e-4d49-b63c-f60b7347fe1e\"><strong>ALPE&#8217;s Executive Committee Members Are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zohra Ahmed, Co-Chair, Boston University School of Law<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ra\u00fal Carrillo,  Boston College Law School<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hiba Hafiz, Boston College Law School<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jason Jackson, Massachusetts Institute of Technology<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luke Norris, University of Richmond School of Law<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lenore Palladino, UMass Amherst<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sabeel Rahman, Cornell Law School<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brishen Rogers, Co-Chair, Georgetown University Law Center<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-c3bc03e9-201e-4d49-b63c-f60b7347fe1e\"><strong>ALPE&#8217;s Board Members are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-c3bc03e9-201e-4d49-b63c-f60b7347fe1e\">Zohra Ahmed, Co-Chair, Boston University School of Law<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-7cb5ce0a-d870-4ef2-b717-b49435123d32\">Ra\u00fal Carrillo, Boston College Law School<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-37467508-cbeb-4e45-af98-0275e12b4d11\">Matthew Dimick, University at Buffalo School of Law&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-eca0cfb3-8159-4fc7-95f8-3da16a18a068\">Veena Dubal, UC Irvine School of Law<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">         William Forbath, University of Texas School of Law<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-70043637-cf9f-4e31-a191-1d6ee94fe45e\">Hiba Hafiz, Boston College Law School<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-1e600161-4608-40c1-ad4a-acf8109401df\">Jason Jackson, Massachusetts Institute of Technology<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">         Tyler Maxin, Brooklyn Law School<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-2dd2f356-353b-476a-a5d8-540e617c4bb2\">Luke Norris, University of Richmond School of Law<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-79f23f45-e820-48f9-9e9e-8b87e4fcd2be\">Ngozi Okidegbe, Boston University School of Law<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-7839e48f-017f-4699-9085-56d3b6ec194a\">Lenore Palladino, UMass Amherst<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-70a2444a-166b-4ba9-8508-cf69001d5a8a\">K.
