La conf茅renci猫re
[En anglais seulement] Professor Wendy Greene鈥檚 principal interest is examining socio-legal constructions of identity and how they inform and constrain civil rights protections aimed to combat inequality. As one of a few U.S. legal scholars actively engaged in the study of comparative slavery and race relations in the Americas and Caribbean, Professor Greene鈥檚 work on race and racial inequality embodies a hemispheric perspective. Her scholarship primarily explores emerging forms of workplace discrimination at the intersection of race, color, gender, religion, and national origin.聽 She has coined two recognized terms in the field of labor and employment law - 鈥渕isperception discrimination鈥� and 鈥済rooming codes discrimination.鈥� Her internationally recognized work in these areas has shaped the enforcement stance of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), administrative law judges, federal courts, and civil rights organizations in civil rights cases. Notably, the 11th Circuit and Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals have endorsed Professor Greene鈥檚 published definition of race as a legal authority on the social construction of race and as a practicable definition for constitutional decision-making respectively.
This year's Black History Month is co-organized by The Office of the Provost and Vice-Principal (Academic), the Black Students' Network of McGill, and the McGill African Students Society (MASS) with generous support from across the university and city.
