Michael Boucai is a Sears Law Teaching Fellow in the Williams Institute at UCLA. In his teaching and research, Michael brings history, social science, and critical theory to bear on legal problems, particularly in the domain of sexuality. His current projects deal with bisexuality’s obscured centrality to debates about gay rights, and same-sex couples' first attempts in the early 1970s to win the freedom to marry. His scholarship has appeared in the University of Miami Law Review, the Georgetown Journal of Gender and the Law, and the National Black Law Journal. Michael is a graduate of Yale (B.A.), Georgetown (J.D.), and Cambridge (M.Phil.). He clerked for the Honorable Rosemary Barkett of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.
