We also got explosure and use of the archival materials. The award included travel and lodging at the St. Gregory Hotel for the duration of the seminar. I also began research into how copyright was operating within the U.S. Holocaust museum on many levels—materials they were obtaining from other archives, materials they were creating, and materials that they were cataloging. An early version of this paper was presented at a Faculty Brown Bag in the Summer 2010. I hope to have a final version of the paper in Winter 2014.

Justice Faculty Fellow, Center for the Study of Justice in Society, Seattle University, 2006-07 I was part of an interdisciplinary group from across Seattle University campus that was looking at the Doha Amendment and access to medicine.

Non-resident Fellow, Center for Internet and Society, Stanford Law School, 2004- This was my first major affiliation within the legal academy after law school, and my first professional presentation (in front of Larry Lessig). The topic was unpublished works in the form of Section 303(a) of the 1976 Copyright Act. This affiliation has continued to play an important role in my development—colleagues, work on the Golan case, and being part of a larger community. James E. Rogers LL.M.

The award came with an obligation to present the work to the Friends of History as well. Schlesinger Library Dissertation Grant, Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America, Radcliffe College, Cambridge, Massachusetts, Summer 1996 I worked in the archives in Cambridge, looking in particular at the Papers of Mary Lee, an author of an important WWI book, which I used in my dissertation.
