On May 2-3, 2008, the University of Illinois and American Bankruptcy Institute will host A Debtor World and "invite you to join your colleagues and leading academics to explore debt neither as problem nor solution but as a phenomenon. Many different academic disciplines can make important contributions to help us understand why consumers and businesses decide to borrow money, what happens to businesses and consumers under a heavy debt load, and what norms and institutions socieities need to encourage the efficient use of debt."
This conference will feature speakers from various disciplines, institutions and viewpoints, including my colleague Heidi Hurd, Elizabeth Warren, Teresa Sullivan and former colleague Paul Vaaler. The full list of speaker bios is here.
