Bio:Amanda Parsons is an Associate Professor at the University of Colorado Law School. She focuses her research on tax law, with a particular emphasis on the interaction between the digital economy and tax law. Her scholarship argues that the digitalization of the global economy requires fundamental reforms to the U.S. international tax system and a fresh look at many of its theoretical foundations. Her work has been published in the Duke Law Journal, Tax Law Review, and Yale Law & Policy Review. Prior to joining Colorado Law, Professor Parsons was an Academic Fellow and Lecturer at Columbia Law School. She also practiced as an associate in the New York office of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher, & Flom, LLP. Professor Parsons holds a J.D. from Yale Law School, where she served as an editor on the Yale Law Journal, an M.Phil. in Evidence-Based Social Intervention from the University of Oxford, and a B.A. in history from Columbia University.
