Genders At Work: Exploring The Role Of Workplace Equality In Preventing Men’S Violence Against Women, Scott Holmes, Michael G. Flood
Genders At Work: Exploring The Role Of Workplace Equality In Preventing Men’S Violence Against Women, Scott Holmes, Michael G. Flood
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
This report examines the role of workplaces, and men in workplaces in particular, in preventing men’s violence against women.
The report begins by noting that men’s violence against women is a widespread social problem which requires urgent action. It highlights the need for preventative measures oriented to changing the social and structural conditions at the root of this violence, including through settings such as workplaces.
Men’s violence against women is a workplace issue. As well as being a blunt infringement of women’s rights, this violence imposes very substantial health and economic costs on workplaces and organisations.
Unfinished Equality: The Case Of Black Boys, Nancy E. Dowd
Unfinished Equality: The Case Of Black Boys, Nancy E. Dowd
UF Law Faculty Publications
Vulnerabilities and identities theories have an interdependent and symbiotic relationship that is critical to achieve social justice. Vulnerabilities analysis demands the state to explain and correct structural inequalities, while identities theories call for constructs and stereotypes to be confronted, challenged, and transformed in order to achieve justice and equality. An example of the value of both theoretical perspectives is in challenging, uncovering, and demanding action to end the subordination of black boys. Analyzing the situation of black boys, from birth to age eighteen, and the interaction they have with individuals, institutional structures, and culture leads to a conclusion that identity …
Obama Inauguration Speech: A Historic Moment For Gay And Lesbian Equality, Marcus O'Donnell
Obama Inauguration Speech: A Historic Moment For Gay And Lesbian Equality, Marcus O'Donnell
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Much has been made of the fact President Obama became the first president to mention the word gay in an inaugural address.
But the significance lies not in what he said but how he said it.
In declaring, “Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law” Obama not only declared himself abstractly for “gay rights”, he placed these rights at the heart of the central ideals of the American story.
Obama’s whole speech sprung from his reiteration of the much sung hymn to equality from the Declaration of Independence …
"Simple" Takes On The Supreme Court, Robert L. Tsai
"Simple" Takes On The Supreme Court, Robert L. Tsai
Faculty Scholarship
This essay assesses black literature as a medium for working out popular understandings of America’s Constitution and laws. Starting in the 1940s, Langston Hughes’s fictional character, Jesse B. Semple, began appearing in the prominent black newspaper, the Chicago Defender. The figure affectionately known as “Simple” was undereducated, unsophisticated, and plain spoken - certainly to a fault according to prevailing standards of civility, race relations, and professional attainment. Butthese very traits, along with a gritty experience under Jim Crow, made him not only a sympathetic figure but also an armchair legal theorist. In a series of barroom conversations, Simple ably critiqued …

From Space-Off To Represented Space, Lolita Buckner Inniss

In Reimagining Equality: Stories of Gender, Race, and Finding Home, author Anita Hill explores some of the literal and figurative meanings of "home," focusing specifically on African-American women in their quest for home. Hill layers discussions of law, literature, and culture with stories of individual women, both historic and contemporary. In Reimagining Equality, Hill takes on a topic clearly distinct from the Clarence Thomas Senate confirmation hearings, the episode for which she is best known. Her work here is, nonetheless, evocative of her struggle in those hearings, because the book addresses the interrelation between gender, race, place, space, …

Employment Law And Social Equality, Samuel R. Bagenstos
Employment Law And Social Equality, Samuel R. Bagenstos
Michigan Law Review
What is the normative justification for individual employment law? For a number of legal scholars, the answer is economic efficiency. Other scholars argue, to the contrary, that employment law protects against (vaguely defined) imbalances of bargaining power and exploitation. Against both of these positions, this Article argues that individual employment law is best understood as advancing a particular conception of equality. That conception, which many legal and political theorists have called social equality, focuses on eliminating hierarchies of social status. This Article argues that individual employment law, like employment discrimination law, is justified as preventing employers from contributing to or …
The Moonscape Of Tax Equality: Windsor And Behyond, Anthony C. Infanti
The Moonscape Of Tax Equality: Windsor And Behyond, Anthony C. Infanti
Articles
This essay takes a critical look at the tax fallout from the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in United States v. Windsor, which declared section three of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) unconstitutional. The essay is important because, while other federal laws will apply to some same-sex couples some of the time, the federal tax laws are a concern for all same-sex couples all of the time. The essay is timely because it addresses the recently issued IRS guidance regarding the tax treatment of same-sex couples.
In this essay, I first describe the path that led to the decision …
