What is Legal Anthropology?

Join Neetika Vishwanath (Director of Criminalisation and Punishment, The Square Circle Clinic) in conversation with Professor Deepa Das Acevedo (Associate Professor, Emory Law School) as they delve into what constitutes legal anthropology. Deepa Das Acevedo is a legal anthropologist. Her research blends ethnographic fieldwork and anthropological theory with doctrinal and policy analysis to provide new insights about legal rules and institutions. Das Acevedo’s first monograph, The Battle for Sabarimala: Religion, Law, and Gender in Contemporary India, was published by Oxford University Press in 2024, and her edited volume, Beyond the Algorithm: Qualitative Insights for Gig Work Regulation, was published by Cambridge University Press in 2021. Das Acevedo joined Emory Law in 2023 from the University of Alabama, where she was an associate professor of law. Before that, she was a Sharswood Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania Carey School of Law. Neetika Vishwanath is the Director of Criminalisation and Punishment at The Square Circle Clinic (NALSAR's Criminal Justice Initiative). She is a candidate for the DPhil in Criminology at the University of Oxford and an Honorary Research Fellow at the Institute for Crime & Justice Policy Research. Since 2017, along with three others, Neetika co-led Project 39A and its subsequent transition to The Square Circle Clinic, playing a key role in its evolution into one of India’s foremost centres for pro bono criminal defense litigation and cutting-edge criminal justice research.
