In your packet, you have a handout that says Frontiero v. Richardson on the front. You might want to take it out and have it in front of you during the panel because we are going to focus on the cases included in the packet. We are delighted to have such a multidisciplinary audience here and hope the handout will assist those who might not be particularly familiar with the cases or who, in any event, could use a refresher. We have before us five eminent legal scholars. I will introduce them in the order they will be speaking this morning: Elizabeth Schneider, Vicki Schultz, Nathaniel Berman, Adrienne Davis, and Janet Halley. All of them have focused on or used theories about gender in their work, some to a greater extent than others, but all quite thoughtfully. We also have five famous legal cases. Most are cases that were brought by women's rights advocates in a deliberate attempt to move the law in a direction that would better attend to women's concerns.

  • Media, Criminal Injustice, and the Black Freedom Struggle
    Media, Criminal Injustice, and the Black Freedom Struggle Erin Turner Vanderbilt University Introduction Since the mid-20th century, media outlets have driven publicity for newsworthy events and shaped content for their receptive audiences. Commonly, massive movements seek publicity to attract attention and participation for protests, demonstrations, slogans, and unfortunate events. For instance, the Black freedom struggle of the 1950s through the 1970s took advantage of their traumatic narratives of oppression to attract national and international attention. Many African Americans who experienced dastardly components of a racist criminal justice system were, in turn, earning respect and power from their freedom-seeking counterparts by commodifying the emotion that fueled Black liberation efforts.1 Media, therefore, became a tool for exposing the nation to racist law enforcement and legal action. Ultimately, Black freedom struggle activists deployed media depictions of their policing, arrest, and imprisonment to be used as movement publicity, earning increased participation and advancing movement motives through this subsequent growing interest. Brief History of Victimization The flawed criminal justice system inspired African Americans to fight for racial equality and humanity, and the prison system offered ammunition for a battle against forms of repression.2 By sharing their stories of imprisonment, activists portrayed victimization, thereby revealing how state authorities treated them and building a campaign against unfair criminal justice.3 Unfortunately, African Americans have long been victims of criminality, beginning with 1 Zoe A.

  • Research, Repression, and Revolution— on Montreal and the Black Radical Tradition: an Interview with David Austin
    THE CLR JAMES JOURNAL 20:1-2, Fall 2014 197-232 doi: 10.5840/clrjames201492319 Research, Repression, and Revolution— On Montreal and the Black Radical Tradition: An Interview with David Austin Peter James Hudson " ll roads lead to Montreal" is the title of an essay of yours on Black Montreal in the 1960s published in the Journal of African American History. But can you describe the road that led you to both Montreal and to the historical and theoretical work that you have done on the city over the past decades. A little intellectual biography . I first arrived in Montreal from London, England in 1980 with my brother to join my family. (We had been living with my maternal grandmother in London.) I was almost ten years old and spent two years in Montreal before moving to Toronto. I went to junior high school and high school in Toronto, but Montreal was always a part of my consciousness and we would visit the city on occasion, and I also used to play a lot of basketball so I traveled to Montreal once or twice for basketball tournaments. As a high school student I would frequent a bookstore called Third World Books and Crafts and it was there that I first discovered Walter Rodney's The Groundings with My Brothers. Three chapters in that book were based on presentations delivered by Rodney in Montreal during and after the Congress of Black Writers. So that was my first indication that something unique had happened in Montreal. My older brother Andrew was a college student at the time in Toronto and one day he handed me a book entitled Let the Niggers Burn! The Sir George Williams Affair and its Caribbean Aftermath, edited by Denis Forsythe.

  • 2017-2018 Academic Year 02
    CELEBRATING THE HUMANITIES 2017-2018 Academic Year 02 LETTER FROM THE DEAN TYLER STOVALL As we come to the end of another academic year, many of us are no doubt grateful for the relative calm we have experienced since last year. National politics remains turbulent, but there have been no new changes or transitions comparable to those of a year ago. If last year was a time of drama, this has been more one of reassessment and new beginnings. It has been my pleasure to welcome new colleagues to the Humanities Division. History of Consciousness has two new faculty, Banu Bargu and Massimiliano Tomba, whose presence has brought new dynamism to the department. Ryan Bennett and Amanda Rysling joined the Linguistics department as assistant professors. I’m also pleased to welcome Literature professor Marlene Tromp, who so wanted to join us she consented to accept an administrative position as Campus Provost/Executive Vice Chancellor! At the same time, I must say farewell to some valued colleagues. Professors Tyrus Miller and Deanna Shemek are moving to faculty positions at UC Irvine, where Tyrus will also serve as Dean of the Humanities. Professors Bettina Aptheker, Jim McCloskey, and Karen Tei Yamashita retired from the university, although I hope they will remain active as emeriti faculty. Finally, I must acknowledge and mourn the passing of professor emeritus Hayden V. White. One of the most renowned and influential faculty members at UC Santa Cruz, Hayden White left a rich legacy to History of Consciousness, the Humanities, and UC Santa Cruz in general. This has also been a year of new initiatives.

  • Skidmore College AM264 African-American Experience
    Skidmore College AM264 African-American Experience Prof. Amber N. Wiley Spring 2017 TR 11:10A-12:30P TISCH 302 [email protected] Office: TISCH 329 Hours: Thursday 9:30-11:00A "My challenge was to weave into the fabric of American history enough of the presence of blacks so that the story of the United States could be told adequately and fairly.” John Hope Franklin, 1997 This lecture course is a survey of the 20th century urban African-American experience. The purpose is to provide an understanding of the role African-Americans have played in the history of the nation, from Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) to Obama’s “Post-Racial” America. This includes African-American contributions to, and exclusions from, various aspects of a democratic American society. We will engage in pluralistic discourse over the progression of the semester. We will hear from many sources while analyzing individual voices on the topic, with an understanding that the African-American experience is neither univocal nor monolithic. The course pays particular attention to migratory patterns of African-Americans within and outside of the United States, but is not meant to be a comprehensive history of African Americans in the United States. This consideration illustrates how industry, war, social segregation, international diplomacy, and family ties helped shape the relationship between the rural and urban African-American experiences. The course is interdisciplinary in nature: our investigation into the African-American experience will include methods and theory from anthropology, art criticism, environmental studies, ethnomusicology, geography, history, literary studies, and urban planning. We will use both primary and secondary sources to gain an understanding of the African-American experience over time; the course readings will be coupled with film, music, poetry, narratives, novels, and art.

  • TAX DEPOSITION QUESTIONS: 7. 4Th AMENDMENT
    TAX DEPOSITION QUESTIONS: 7. 4th AMENDMENT TAX DEPOSITION QUESTIONS: 7. 4th AMENDMENT 7. FOURTH AMENDMENT Introduction The 4th Amendment to the Constitution explicitly requires a signed court order or warrant for the Government to seize property or conduct a search. IRS blatantly disregards the 4th Amendment in direct violation of the Constitution by administratively sending pieces of paper with titles like "Notice of Levy" (and such) to third parties (such as employers and banks) that do NOT have the legal authority of a court order. IRS’s daily operating practices routinely, and by design, deny the average citizen due process of law to perpetuate the unlawful collection of income taxes. A tax system that violates the basic protection of due process is not constitutional. IRS agents illegally and fraudulently alters tax payers' Individual Master Files (IMF) for the purposes of: ● Unlawfully Evading statutory time-barred tax assessments, ● Generating and providing fraudulent certifications of official records to the courts to support illegal assessments, ● Unlawfully depriving tax payers interest legally owed them by the government, ● Levying upon tax payers' Social Security benefits in direct violation of U.S. law, ● Willfully and intentionally creating fraudulent penalty and interest charges against taxpayers, and ● Willfully and intentionally violating taxpayers due process rights. Findings and Conclusions With the assistance of the following questions, we will show that the IRS routinely violated Fourth Amendment due process protections of Americans by seizing assets without lawful authority or a court order. We will also show that: ● The 4th Amendment to the Constitution explicitly requires a signed court order or warrant to seize property or conduct a search.
