Women remain underrepresented in influential positions in the legal academy. Visible and invisible status lines and distinctions within and outside of the academy have historically been defined by and through prisms of both discrimination and harassment. These status lines and distinctions bear directly upon career progression and one’s personal sense of safety. They create and, once brought to light, help to explain persistent inequality. This panel will explore harassment and bullying and the wide range of behaviors that constitute them, ranging from more readily recognizable forms of unwelcome conduct such as unwanted sexual advances, comments, gestures, and physical contact, and actions or statements that are obviously threatening, to more subtle or insidious forms of harassment and bullying, such as instances where a staff member’s helpfulness are mistakenly interpreted as interest or where a faculty member engages in alleged consensual sexual relationships with students. In so doing, the panel will employ the framework of intersectionality in analyzing varying forms and examples of harassment and bullying. The panel also may explore the role of institutional policies and practices in perpetuating harassment or bullying as well as the challenges and obstacles that status differences may create in terms of reporting and addressing these harms.
