She studies race and gender in judicial selection; state judicial elections; backlash against non-traditional judges and challenges to their objectivity; sexual assault on campus; women's leadership; women and girls in Kenya, and women's incarceration in Louisiana.

Laurie O'Brien<http://www2.tulane.edu/sse/psyc/faculty-and-staff/faculty/obrien.cfm> is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology. Trained in the areas of prejudice and stigma, her research explores how lay people perceive (and fail to perceive) prejudice. Saru Matambanadzo<http://www.law.tulane.edu/tlsfaculty/profiles.aspx?id=13994>, Associate Professor of Law, has published on legal sex for transgendered persons, philosophy of legal education, legal personhood, and feminist legal theory. Michael Cunningham<http://www2.tulane.edu/sse/psyc/faculty-and-staff/faculty/cunningham.cfm> is a Professor in the Department of Psychology and the undergraduate program in Africana Studies.

A former Assistant US Attorney with extensive experience with the Violence Against Women Act, she is the former Director of the Tulane Domestic Violence Clinic. Her research focuses on jury discrimination against the victims of crime by race and gender, making particular connections between the two. Just as juries historically acquitted those who committed violence against blacks (like Emmett Till) who broke the racial rules, so juries continue to put the victims of gender-based violence on trial for their obedience to gender rules. She argues that the "discriminatory acquittal" violates the Constitution, and works on procedural tools to prevent it. Nancy Maveety<http://www2.tulane.edu/liberal-arts/political-science/nancy-maveety.cfm> is a Professor and chair of the Department of Political Science and the former Director of the Gender and Sexuality Studies Program.
