Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Celene Reynolds, "Unlawful Advances: How Feminists Transformed Title IX" (Princeton UP, 2025)
Q: What do you think about the future of Title IX?
The future is unclear, particularly with political shifts that seek to redefine sex discrimination primarily along biological lines, potentially undermining the progress made in protecting against sexual harassment.
Celene Reynolds, "Unlawful Advances: How Feminists Transformed Title IX" (Princeton UP, 2025)
Q: How did college administrations respond to Title IX complaints?
Initially, there was befuddlement among college administrators, particularly at Yale, as they had not previously considered sexual harassment problematic, illustrating how normalized the issue was at the time.
Celene Reynolds, "Unlawful Advances: How Feminists Transformed Title IX" (Princeton UP, 2025)
Q: How were you drawn to investigate the subject for your book?
I was initially puzzled by the narrow focus on sexual harassment in discussions about Title IX while working in a related office, despite having understood Title IX mainly as a law for gender equity in athletics. I wanted to explore its broader implications.
Katherine Eva Maich, "Bringing Law Home: Gender, Race, and Household Labor Rights" (Stanford UP, 2025)
Q: Can you tell us specifically about the domestic Bill of Rights?
The law grants negligible protections to workers and places the onus of immigration status on the employer, creating a vulnerable labor regime.
Katherine Eva Maich, "Bringing Law Home: Gender, Race, and Household Labor Rights" (Stanford UP, 2025)
Q: Can you tell us more about what sorts of things the law is trying to solve in both of these cities?
The New York Domestic Worker Bill of Rights recognized minimum wage coverage and days of rest, while the Peruvian law includes specific obligations for employers and protections that aim to address the vulnerabilities domestic workers face.
