Pace Haub Law Cohosts Roundtable Bringing Together Scholars to Explore Women, Gender, and Sexuality
On June 16, 2025, the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University and Albany Law School cohosted a Feminist Legal Studies Roundtable at the Pace University campus in Lower Manhattan. Participants from Pace Haub Law included Professors Jessica Miles, Margot Pollans, and Emily Waldman. The event was convened by Professor Bridget Crawford and cosponsored by the US Feminist Judgments Project and the Law and Society Association’s International Research Collaborative on Feminist Judgments.
In this day-long program, nineteen faculty members from twelve schools presented works in progress that related in some way to women, gender & sexuality studies. During her opening remarks, Professor Crawford emphasized the value of shared scholarly inquiry. “Bringing together scholars committed to feminist legal analysis helps cultivate new insights and challenge traditional legal narratives,” she said. “In a time of rapid legal and political shifts—especially those impacting bodily autonomy, gender identity, and reproductive justice—convenings like this roundtable are more than collaborative opportunities; they are essential spaces for critical thinking, intellectual risk-taking, and mutual support. These gatherings help sharpen our tools, deepen our resolve, and move the field forward in ways that respond meaningfully to the world around us.”
