This publication is sprung out of a Symposium hosted by Uppsala University, and co-hosted by Professor Joel Samuelsson and Associate Professor Maria Grahn-Farley, August 23–24, 2019.

The preface to this anthology, Voices on Law and Activism: Addressing the Work of Adam Gearey, is written with both joy and gratitude. It is with joy because of the creativity and intellectual curiosity so generously shared among our authors and with the reader. It is with gratitude because of the willingness of our authors to create new original works engaging in the long history of critical scholarship of examination and social engagement in our times, spanning across the academic traditions of the United States, the United Kingdom and the Nordic countries. It is also with some pride that we at Uppsala University can present so many of our young researchers through the included works written by several of our doctoral candidates in law.
