Friday February 19
9:00 – 10:15 a.m. The Difference a Field Makes: The Impact of Sexuality and Gender Law Scholarship on the Law and Legal Scholarship What has been the impact – intellectual and otherwise – of the field of sexuality and gender law on the shape and scope of public law? How, if at all, has it affected basic paradigms such as the border between public and private or doctrinal fields such as the First Amendment? Is it still a ghettoized field? Bill Eskridge 10:30 a.m. – 11:45 p.m. Theories Behind Multidimensional Advocacy Reform movements have the potential to shift culture as well as change rules. When can law create tipping points for deep-seated change? How and why do courts move from seeing LGBT equality claims as outliers to perceiving that the state lacks a rational basis to discriminate? Scott Cummings 12:00 -1:00 p.m. Lunch 1:00-2:30 p.m. The Impact Sexuality and Gender Law and Policy Scholarship on LGBT Rights Much of sexuality and gender legal scholarship has been motivated by and directed towards advancing the rights of LGBT people. What contributions has LGBT legal scholarship made? Where has it has fallen short and what more could it do? What about the impact of the growing body of empirical scholarship directed at LGBT-related laws and public polices? Lee Badgett 3:00-4:30 p.m. Intersectionality In the last 20 years, numerous legal scholars have looked to the concept of intersectionality, introduced by Kimberlé Crenshaw, to understand how sexuality, race, gender and other forms of oppression intertwine. Panelists will address how transgender identity informs intersectionality and vice versa; examine how race, gender, and sexuality structure relationships at work beyond the context of sexual harassment; and analyze how comparisons of “gays” to “blacks” in the contexts of equal protection advocacy and Proposition 8 discourse have been inattentive to the actual legal status of African-Americans of all sexual orientations. Devon Carbado
5:00 – 6:30 p.m. Final Round, 6th Annual Williams Institute Moot Court Competition on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Law 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. Gala and Reception
