Texas Journal of Women and the Law Volume 12 ROUND TABLE DISCUSSION: SUBVERSIVE LEGAL MOMENTS? Karen Engle*: Good morning, and welcome to the first roundtable, which is in many ways a Rorschach test. 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.

This transcript is not edited for spelling, grammar, or punctuation.** Participants: Trevor Parry-Giles Robin Boylorn Maegan Parker Brooks Armond Towns [Audio Length: 0:54:37] RECORDING BEGINS Trevor Parry-Giles: Welcome to Communication Matters, the NCA podcast. I'm Trevor Parry-Giles, the Executive Director of the National Communication Association. The National Communication Association is the preeminent scholarly association devoted to the study and teaching of communication. Founded in 1914, NCA is a thriving group of thousands from across the nation and around the world who are committed to a collective mission to advance communication as an academic discipline. In keeping with NCA's mission to advance the discipline of communication, NCA has developed this podcast series to expand the reach of our member scholars’ work and perspectives. Introduction: This is Communication Matters, the NCA podcast. Robin Boylorn: At the basic level for me, diversity is a very basic general thing that everybody should be doing anyway. It really should be aspirational at this point. But how can we unpack it and deconstruct it a bit more without putting additional invisible labor on faculty and scholars of color? Trevor Parry-Giles: On today's episode of Communication Matters, the NCA podcast, we're addressing civil rights and the passing of the civil rights generation, the new civil rights generation and issues related to diversity, equity and inclusion. Professors Robin M. Boylorn, Maegan Parker Brooks and Armond Towns join me today for this really timely and interesting conversation.

A critical determinant of black women’s activism was the influence of both race and gender, as the- se factors were immutably married to their subjectivities.
