Session Type: Section Programs

Session Capacity: N/A

Location: Washington Marriott Wardman Park Hotel

Room: Maryland A

Floor: Lobby Level

This session will focus on how we teach law in the age of #MeToo, Time’s Up, Justice Kavanaugh, Intersectionality, President Trump, Proper Pronoun Use, the Women’s March, and other recent developments. This session will consider how we, in our capacity as law teachers, are adapting our teaching as the world around us changes. Panelists will discuss their teaching innovations: courses they created or adapted or other ways in which they have engaged with students in this #MeToo World.

Following the panel presentations, there will be an audience engagement segment in the form of break-out group discussions. Each panelist will co-lead a break-out group. The group discussions will provide interested professors in the audience with an opportunity to think about how they too can create or adapt a course for our #MeToo world. Panelists will provide leadership by offering guidance and inspiration to professors who want to create their own #MeToo teaching innovation.
