ROMANI WOMEN'S RIGHT TO WATER: BRINGING INTERSECTIONAL DISCRIMINATION CLAIMS IN THE E.U. |
29 Minnesota Journal of International Law 151 (Spring, 2020) |
Water, water every where, nor any drop to drink. Coleridge's famous words reflected the situation of sailors on a ship, but the words hold true for the situation of many on land today. 2.1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water at home, and by 2025, half of the world will live in a water-stressed area. While the mind may more readily... |

SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE?: DEMOTING DAIRY IN CANADA'S NATIONAL FOOD GUIDE |
16 Journal of Food Law & Policy 11 (Spring, 2020) |
In early 2019, the Canadian Government released the much-anticipated new Canada Food Guide. It is a food guide that de-emphasizes dairy products and promotes plant-based eating. Notably, in the new version, milk and milk products are de-listed as one of the previously four essential food groups. On the surface, it seems that the federal government... |

THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGS) AND THE RULE OF LAW: A PROPOS SDG 6 ON ACCESS TO WATER AND SANITATION |
114 American Society of International Law Proceedings 143 (June 25-26, 2020) |
The rule of law and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are mutually supportive. Respect for the rule of law is indeed crucial for development issues. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development itself acknowledges, through SDG 16, that access to justice and the rule of law foster sustainable development. The latter ensures that all... |

UNCONSTITUTIONAL FOOD INEQUALITY |
55 Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review 840 (Summer, 2020) |
Racial disparities in food-related deaths and disease are vestiges of slavery and colonization that have persisted for too long. Rhetoric around personal responsibility and cultural preferences obscure the structural causes of these disparities. Regulatory capture by the food industry makes reform through the political process unlikely or subject... |

33 Georgetown Journal of Legal Ethics 855 (Summer, 2020) |
The American public is familiar with the Flint Water Crisis (the crisis, or FWC)--the general causes, the impact, and the injustice. It has been a hot topic over the past several years with multiple documentaries, books, and news accounts providing platforms for residents' stories of being poisoned by lead in their city's water.

With the collective effect of the ever-growing human population, deterioration of water quality, increased pollution, climate change, the changing water cycle, increased water scarcity, and intense competition for freshwater resources, it is predicted that wars in the future will be fought over freshwater instead of oil.

Unbeknownst to some, thousands of residents in California's San Joaquin Valley lack access to clean drinking water, which carries very real economic and human costs. The problems encountered by residents in the Valley disproportionately affect poor communities and communities of color. The issue thus falls directly within larger problems... |

WHILE THE WATER IS STIRRING: SOJOURNER TRUTH AS PROTO-AGONIST IN THE FIGHT FOR (BLACK) WOMEN'S RIGHTS |

This Essay argues for a greater understanding of Sojourner Truth's little-discussed role as a proto-agonist (a marginalized, long-suffering forerunner as opposed to a protagonist, a highly celebrated central character) in the process that led up to the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment. Though the Nineteenth Amendment failed to deliver on its... |

YOU BETTER WORK: UNCONSTITUTIONAL WORK REQUIREMENTS AND FOOD OPPRESSION |
53 U.C. Davis Law Review 1531 (February, 2020) |
Work requirements attached to the receipt of welfare (TANF) and food stamps (SNAP) disproportionately harm people of color. They arose out of unfounded fears of fraud based on racial stereotypes like the Welfare Queen. While food assistance helps raise households out of poverty, work requirements do not. Instead, they lead to greater food... |
