In Conversation With The Rosenbach Mini-Series: The Legacy of the Thirteenth Amendment: Hosea H. Harvey

About the Speaker

Hosea H. Harvey is Associate Professor at the Beasley School of Law, Temple University. His research interests center around using empirical methods to solve a central question: what is the appropriate role of the law in minimizing the effects of race and gender disparities in business organizations, consumer markets, and regulatory policies? Professor Harvey’s future publications challenge the empirical basis for recent consumer finance law reforms, arguing that such reforms run counter to consumer behavior and have race and gender stratified consequences. Most recently, two of Professor Harvey’s articles question the empirical basis and potential effectiveness of state-level public health interventions in youth sports. Previous work has included examinations of the political psychology of race and politics in the United States, as well as an extensive examination of antitrust harms for racial minorities in film and sports product markets.
