Faulty forensic evidence and biased evidence relying on sex-based stereotypes have long been used to convict innocent women in situations where an accident or health event has been misconstrued as a criminal act. This talk will conceptualize and consider “reproductive wrongful convictions,” which are instances in which a noncriminal pregnancy-related event or act––such as a miscarriage, stillbirth, or taking legally prescribed medicine––is erroneously labeled as criminal. It will also attend to the ways that women with disabilities and from racially and economically subordinated communities are often labeled as “unfit” and made particularly vulnerable to these charges.

Castles on Sand: Tenure Protections Against For Cause Termination

Tenure is central to academic freedom and the university’s role as a place for truth-seeking and knowledge. But how well does tenure actually protect faculty? Drawing on an original dataset of for-cause termination policies from more than 400 institutions, Jocelyn Wilson joins us to examine the troubling gaps in protections for tenured faculty, including broad grounds for termination, weak safeguards for academic freedom and speech, and expanding post-tenure review practices. She also offers insights on the potential role of courts, administrators, and the public to strengthen the foundations of faculty rights, and thereby safeguard the the university's role as a place for truth-seeking and knowledge.

Lunch will be provided. Please RSVP. We hope you join us!
