Body. Freedom. Choice: Creating Artwork In Post-Roe America, Erin Sedra
Body. Freedom. Choice: Creating Artwork In Post-Roe America, Erin Sedra
Graduate Theses/Dissertations
I knew from a young age that I never wanted children. Whenever I expressed my disinterest in motherhood, I was often met with bewilderment, disapproval, and hostility. The church I was raised in taught me that my value and worth as a woman directly correlated with the power of my birthing hips. This fundamentalist upbringing has significantly shaped my relationship with my femininity, my body, and my artwork. When I feel powerless, turning to my art gives me a sense of control and self-expression. This body of work began as a reaction to the overturning of Roe v. Wade and …

Students For Fair Admissions: Affirming Affirmative Action And Shapeshifting Towards Cognitive Diversity?, Steven A. Ramirez
Students For Fair Admissions: Affirming Affirmative Action And Shapeshifting Towards Cognitive Diversity?, Steven A. Ramirez
Seattle University Law Review
The Roberts Court holds a well-earned reputation for overturning Supreme Court precedent regardless of the long-standing nature of the case. The Roberts Court knows how to overrule precedent. In Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard (SFFA), the Court’s majority opinion never intimates that it overrules Grutter v. Bollinger, the Court’s leading opinion permitting race-based affirmative action in college admissions. Instead, the Roberts Court applied Grutter as authoritative to hold certain affirmative action programs entailing racial preferences violative of the Constitution. These programs did not provide an end point, nor did they require assessment, review, periodic expiration, or revision for greater …
Why Human Rights? A Philosophical Guide, Eric Blumenson
Why Human Rights? A Philosophical Guide, Eric Blumenson
Suffolk University Law School Faculty Works
Why Human Rights addresses universal human rights as moral mandates – rights to justice that all persons have by virtue of their humanity alone. These are not the legal rights of statutes and treaties, but moral rights of the kind Gandhi, King, and Mandela invoked to oppose unjust laws. All such rights presuppose three claims: (1) that some duties of justice apply universally, (2) that all human beings have equal moral significance, and (3) that states must protect or serve certain individual interests regardless of the societal impact of doing so Can these three premises be justified? Is the human …

Evidence-Based Transitional Justice: Incorporating Public Opinion Into The Field, With New Data From Iraq And Ukraine, Mara Revkin, Ala Alrababah, Rachel Myrick
Faculty Scholarship
The field of “transitional justice” refers to a range of processes and mechanisms for accountability, truth-seeking, and reconciliation that governments and communities pursue in the aftermath of major societal traumas, including civil war, mass atrocities, and authoritarianism. This relatively new field emerged in the 1980s as scholars, practitioners, and policymakers looked for guidance to support post-authoritarian and post-communist transitions to democracy in Eastern Europe and Latin America. Since then, the field has grown rapidly—so rapidly that it is outpacing its capacity to learn from past mistakes. Recent methodological advances in the study of public attitudes about transitional justice through quantitative …

Breaking Cultural And Financial Barriers In Olympic Sports, Maureen A. Weston, Professor Of Law
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
Nelson Mandela has said that “[s]port has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does . . . . It is more powerful than governments in breaking down barriers.” Sports can have tremendous value, not only to the individual participants in promoting physical and mental health, skills, and teamwork, but also to society in fostering community, civic pride, and a sense of belonging, even among the fans. Sports have significant economic, political and cultural impacts at the local, national, and international spheres. …
Universal Civil Jurisdiction And International Law: A Response To B.S. Chimni, Chimène Keitner
Universal Civil Jurisdiction And International Law: A Response To B.S. Chimni, Chimène Keitner
National Law School of India Review
The exercise of various forms of jurisdiction, and the delineation of a political entity’s jurisdictional reach over persons, places, and conduct, can sharpen and entrench inequities within and between states. One can thus aptly characterize certain exercises of jurisdiction, and particularly certain forms of extraterritorial jurisdiction, as assertions of imperial and/or hegemonic power. Importantly, however, jurisdiction can also be invoked to redress certain power inequities by providing access to judicial remedies for conduct that has evaded other forms of regulatory control. In addition, while certain assertions of extraterritorial prescriptive jurisdiction can represent overreaching by powerful states, the practice of disclaiming …
Theorising Extraterritorial Jurisdiction: The Travails Of Twail, Muthucumaraswamy Sornarajah
Theorising Extraterritorial Jurisdiction: The Travails Of Twail, Muthucumaraswamy Sornarajah
National Law School of India Review
Discussion of extraterritoriality focussing on capitulation theories looks backwards at an historical period. The present need is to study extraterritoriality used by hegemonic states both in an oppressive manner to advance their national interests and in a manner that protects common interests. As hegemonic power of the United States recedes, new actors like China and India will come to use extraterritoriality largely in an offensive manner. Preoccupation with the past is inapposite in a field in which the rapid developments are taking place. A theory must be found that permits defensive extraterritoriality that promotes community interests while curbing the offensive …
