I responded quite honestly: “High School Nettie wouldn’t have been surprised. She knew where we were heading.” She absolutely did. I have always been pretty sure I would end up with an advanced degree and I have always known what that would involve. The only question was one of how I was going to get here, but my favorite thing has always been watching television and movies. Once I learned that a job existed where I could watch television and, more or less, get paid for it, I threw myself wholeheartedly into pursuing that job. I get to watch television and talk to other people about it. That’s simply heaven for me. A lot of people helped me get here.

First, I would like to thank the members of my dissertation committee – Janet Staiger, Tom Schatz, Mary Kearney, Mary Beltrán, and Julia Mickenberg – for their hard work and insightful feedback. Janet Staiger has been instrumental in developing this project since I arrived at the University of Texas in 2011. Like any great mentor, Janet would know when I needed to meet and talk through my idea, and would know when I needed my space to write and work through each part on my own. In our meetings, Janet would facilitate deep conversations about the core issues surrounding my project and keep me focused on the media’s representations of emerging-adults.

  • Metoo, Time's Up, and Theories of Justice
    #METOO, TIME’S UP, AND THEORIES OF JUSTICE Lesley Wexler∗ Jennifer K. Robbennolt∗∗ Colleen Murphy∗∗∗ Allegations against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and the ensuing #MeToo movement opened the floodgates to a modern-day reckoning with sex discrimination in the workplace. High-level and high-profile individu- als across industries have been fired, been suspended, or resigned, while others accused of wrongdoing have faced no consequences, gotten slaps on the wrists, or ascended to the highest levels of power. At the same time, serious concerns have been raised about useful processes by which nonprivileged women and men can address harassment, due process for those accused of misconduct, and the need for proportionate consequenc- es. And there have been calls for both restorative and transformative jus- tice in addressing this problem. But these calls have not been explicit about what sort of restoration or transformation is envisioned. This Article explores the meaning, utility, and complexities of re- storative justice and the insights of transitional justice for dealing with sexual misconduct in the workplace. We begin by documenting the restor- ative origins of #MeToo as well as exploring steps taken, most prominent- ly by Time’s Up, to amplify and credit survivors’ voices, seek accountabil- ity, change workplace practices, and encourage access to the legal system. We then take up the call for restorative justice by exploring its key components—including acknowledgement, responsibility-taking, harm re- pair, nonrepetition, and reintegration—with an eye toward how these ∗ Professor of Law, University of Illinois College of Law. ∗∗ Alice Curtis Campbell Professor of Law and Professor of Psychology, University of Illinois College of Law.
