Whitney K. Taylor discusses constitutions, social rights, and prosecutorial backlash

In Episode 49 of The Baldy Center Podcast we welcome Whitney K. Taylor, PhD, Mid-Career Fellow at The Baldy Center. Taylor discusses her award-winning book, The Social Constitution: Embedding Social Rights Through Legal Mobilization. Her work examines how Colombia’s 1991 Constitution and the tutela procedure transformed access to justice, embedding social rights into everyday life. Taylor offers perspective on constitutional reform, the labor of law, and the political backlash that follows experiments in justice. Taylor connects her research in Colombia to ongoing debates in the United States, including the rise of reform-minded prosecutors and the challenges they face.
