Sanjukta Paul is an assistant professor of law at Wayne State University. Broadly speaking, Paul studies how law organizes economic coordination—currently focusing particularly on labor and antitrust—and how these legal choices promote or undermine broader social aims. She is currently completing a book, Solidarity in the Shadow of Antitrust: Labor and the Legal Idea of Competition (Cambridge University Press), which reinterprets key aspects of the development of antitrust law in relation to labor and workers.
