9th Annual Update: Sexuality and Gender Law:
Assessing the Field, Envisioning the Future
Co-sponsored by UCLA Law Review
Both in scholarship and
in judicial opinions, issues related to sexuality and
gender constitute one of the most dynamic and vibrant
fields in American law. Yet there has been no sustained
examination or critique of the field itself and of its
importance to constitutional theory more generally. This
conference will bring together leading scholars from
both inside and outside the field to reflect on how
sexuality and gender has changed the law, and how the
field itself is likely to change. The program will
include the Final Round of the Annual Williams Institute
Moot court competition.
March 12-13, 2010
4th Annual CRS Symposium & Reunion:
Intersectionality: Challenging Theory, Reframing
Politics, Transforming Movements
Presented by UCLA Law Critical Race Studies
Program
UCLA School of Law
Since the publication of Kimberlé Crenshaw's formative
articles - Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race &
Sex (1989), and Mapping the Margins: Intersectionality,
Identity Politics & Violence Against Women of Color
(1994) - the concept of intersectionality has traversed
more than a dozen academic disciplines and transnational
and popular political discourse, generated multiple
conferences, monographs, and anthologies, and animated
hundreds of articles and essays. In the twenty years
since Crenshaw introduced intersectionality, critiques
of identity politics and multiculturalism and, more
recently, claims of a "post-racial" era have blossomed.
In 2010, we will re-visit the origins of
intersectionality as a theoretical frame and site of
legal interventions and consider its still unfolding
potential for unmasking subordination and provoking
social change.
