WORKING THROUGH MENOPAUSE |
99 Washington University Law Review 1531 (2022) |
There are over thirty million people ages forty-four to fifty-five in the civilian labor force in the United States, but the law and legal scholarship are largely silent about a health condition that approximately half of those workers will inevitably experience. Both in the United States and elsewhere, menopause remains mostly a taboo topic... |

YOGA AS PROPERTY: A CENTURY OF UNITED STATES YOGA COPYRIGHTS, 1937-2021 |
99 Denver Law Review 725 (Summer, 2022) |
Public debate on yoga as property fixates on whether yoga should be owned, asking if yoga can be Indian property. Framed as such, the public discourse obscures a century-long, ravenous arc of yoga ownership in the United States, accumulated by whiteness, beginning in the early twentieth century. What do the stories of yoga in American law tell us... |

A PATH TO TRANSFORMATION: ASKING "THE WOMAN QUESTION" IN INTERNATIONAL LAW |
42 Michigan Journal of International Law 429 (Summer, 2021) |
As feminists articulate their methods, they can become more aware of the nature of what they do, and thus do it better. Method concerns the way one thinks, not what one thinks about, although they can be related. Methods matter, and the discussion over feminist methods in international law is an important one.
