Harassment, Workplace Culture, And The Power And Limits Of Law, Suzanne B. Goldberg
Harassment, Workplace Culture, And The Power And Limits Of Law, Suzanne B. Goldberg
Faculty Scholarship
This article asks why it remains so difficult for employers to prevent and respond effectively to harassment, especially sexual harassment, and identifies promising points for legal intervention. It is sobering to consider social-science evidence of the myriad barriers to reporting sexual harassment – from the individual-level and interpersonal to those rooted in society at large. Most of these are out of reach for an employer but workplace culture stands out as a significant arena where employers have influence on whether harassment and other discriminatory behaviors are likely to thrive. Yet employers typically make choices in this area with attention to …
Criminal Deterrence: A Review Of The Missing Literature, Alex Raskolnikov
Criminal Deterrence: A Review Of The Missing Literature, Alex Raskolnikov

I also use “missing” to refer to the areas …

Covid-19 And Lgbt Rights, Suzanne B. Goldberg

Topics include: 1) federal withdrawal of antidiscrimination protections; 2) …

Professor Akilah Folami:
Welcome and thank you for coming. I am eager to engage in this opening exchange with Susan Sturm today in hopes that it will help bring to surface some of the issues that undergird the conversations planned for today in the panels. So let us begin. Susan has been teasing out a series of paradoxes that she argues develops in the tensions built into lawyer-leadership, i.e., legal training and leadership development. Her work on these lawyer-leadership paradoxes grows out of her other work that is related to the theme of this conference: Leading Differently Across Difference. She …
