David Miller, professor of political theory, University of Oxford, and official fellow in social and political theory, Nuffield College, Oxford, will give the keynote address for the German Law in Context Program at Washington and Lee University School of Law. It will be on Oct. 7 at 3 p.m. in Millhiser Moot Court Room, Lewis Hall.

The title of his talk is “The European Migration Crisis: Ethical and Political Issues.” It is free and open to the public.

“Professor Miller is one of the world's leading scholars and commentators on issues of citizenship, identity and migration,” said Russell Miller, professor of law at W&L.

He is the author, editor and co-editor of 19 books, including "Strangers in Our Midst: the Political Philosophy of Immigration" (2016).

“What is perhaps most distinctive about my work is its use of evidence from the social sciences to inform debates in political philosophy,” said Miller. “My longest standing-interest is in the idea of justice, originally social justice, but now also global justice. But most recently, I have worked on issues connected to immigration.”
