in Conversation
Join Simon Tam and Michele Goodwin in conversation about the First Amendment, race, intellectual property, and taking on the government. Simon Tam is an acclaimed author, musician, activist, and troublemaker. Tam is best known as the founder and bassist of The Slants, the world’s first and only all-Asian American dance rock band. As the named party in one of the most high-profiled intellectual property law cases in modern history, Tam offers a unique and nuanced perspective about his legal journey from the applicant’s point of view. Michele Goodwin is a Chancellor’s Professor at the University of California Irvine, an Executive Committee Member of the American Civil Liberties Union, and author of the forthcoming book, Policing The Womb.
