Kevin Crow

Dr. Kevin Crow is Assistant Professor of International Law and Ethics at ASB and International Faculty Fellow at MIT. His research focuses on corporate subjectivity to international law, how understandings of economic and institutional morality affect international adjudication historically and presently, and most recently, how assumptions regarding ‘the natural’ inform legal and market logics. Prior to joining ASB, Kevin taught international economic law and US constitutional law at the University of Halle-Wittenberg Law School in Germany and practiced international criminal law with NGOs based in Cambodia and France. Alongside his work with ASB, Kevin is an affiliated researcher with Columbia University’s Freedom of Expression Initiative and is active in legal consulting and international impact litigation. He holds a B.A. from the University of Washington (Political Science), a dual J.D. / LL.M. from the London School of Economics and the University of Southern California Law School (Law / Legal Theory), and a Ph.D. from the Universität Halle-Wittenberg Transnational Economic Law Center (International Law), all with honors. Kevin is licensed to practice law in the State of California and can advise internationally on matters related to international law. His first book, International Corporate Personhood: Business and the Bodyless in International Law (Routledge 2021), sets out a theory of the corporation’s relationship to international law.
