(Papers to be published in Iowa Journal of Gender, Race & Justice)
One or more presenters to be selected from Call for Papers.
The speakers on this panel will focus on the concept of litigating toward gender justice by making institutional actors responsible for various forms of sex and gender discrimination. The current system of atomized tort or employment discrimination actions or individual criminal prosecutions leaves extreme gaps in the legal system’s ability to prevent exploitation on the basis of gender or sex. The speakers will address different dimensions of creating institutional responsibility, such as protection for children in schools and sporting activities, employer liability for family responsibilities discrimination, and theories to hold insurance companies liable for third-party exploitation.
