Gender, Law, and Social Policy 

Research in this program explores the intersections of legal, social, and political constructions of gender and gender-related issues. One group of studies addresses issues related to reproductive rights, such as legal interpretations of reproductive injury and pain (DES litigation), abortion rights activism, and reproductive technology. A second group of studies addresses issues related to women of color, such as African-American women in the military and public-interest advocacy for women of color. A third group of studies explores women's participation in the paid labor force and the issues their participation has raised for policymakers, judges, arbitrators, and union activists. A fourth group is engaged in community-based research on various issues relating to violence against women.
