When Caring Is Work: Home, Health, And The Invisible Workforce: Introduction, Dianne Avery, Martha T. Mccluskey Apr 2013

When Caring Is Work: Home, Health, And The Invisible Workforce: Introduction, Dianne Avery, Martha T. Mccluskey

Buffalo Law Review

This essay introduces the SUNY Buffalo Law School 2012 James McCormick Mitchell Lecture. The Lecture featured distinguished scholars Hendrik Hartog, Jennifer Klein, and Peggie R. Smith, who each contributed an essay to this volume. These three scholars give a richly detailed picture of home caretakers' struggles to gain visibility and support for their important work. Legal rulings and policy choices have made care workers distinctly vulnerable, treating care services as an expression of love rather than contract (as Hartog describes), or as social rehabilitation for marginal citizens rather than as skilled health care provision (as Klein explains), or as informal …

Actionable Acts: "Severe" Conduct In Hostile Work Environment Sexual Harassment Cases, James Concannon Sep 2011

Actionable Acts: "Severe" Conduct In Hostile Work Environment Sexual Harassment Cases, James Concannon

Buffalo Journal of Gender, Law & Social Policy

This paper examines the significant weight that courts accord proof of especially "severe" conduct in hostile work environment sexual harassment cases. Such conduct is often found by courts to satisfy the "severe or pervasive" test established by the Supreme Court in Harris v. Forklift Systems, Inc., even if the plaintiff does not present proof that the harassing conduct occurred with great frequency.' Part I provides an introduction to the Supreme Court's hostile work environment jurisprudence and the origins of the severe or pervasive test. Part II begins the exploration into the disjunctive nature of the severe or pervasive test. …

"Catch-22": The Role Of Development Institutions In Promoting Gender Equality In Land Law – Lessons Learned In Post-Conflict Pluralist Africa, Amrita Kapur

Buffalo Human Rights Law Review

This article explores the contours of development policies as they have been applied to pluralistic legal systems, with a specific focus on their effects on women in post-conflict African countries. Drawing on research that firmly establishes the importance of women's social, economic and political participation in post-conflict development, it identifies the flaws in gender-neutral land titling initiatives introduced and encouraged by development institutions. It then describes the gender-sensitive laws enacted as a response to continuing gender discriminatory practices in Rwanda, Mozambique and Uganda. While taking into account the existence of customary law, these laws explicitly affirm women's rights with respect …
