Next Dean's Den: Professors Bornstein & Green to Discuss Work
| |
In the next Dean’s Den to be held at 12 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 22 in Robinson Courtroom, Dean Brietta Clark will host a conversation with Professors Stephanie Bornstein and Tristin Green about The Legal DEI Project, an educational initiative they recently launched with two other law professors. Professors Bornstein and Green will share a bit about their own backgrounds and the Project’s goals, after which we will explore its larger implications. What can we draw from this Project about the role of lawyers, business leaders, and workers in efforts to prevent bias and discrimination today? What do lawful nondiscrimination efforts look like in the face of current efforts to "eliminate DEI”? As laws and social norms flex and shift, how do longstanding laws like the Civil Rights Act of 1964 provide space for debates about what it means to discriminate because of race, sex, gender identity, religion, national origin, and other protected traits? And what is the Constitutional context in which these current debates are playing out? Join us for a timely conversation. Please RSVP by Oct. 18>>
