Prof. @deborahwidiss.bsky.social spoke with @bloomberglaw.com for:

I’m looking forward to this conversation - and learning from my great co-panelists!

My new article, The Sexual Harassment Silo (forthcoming, Penn. L. Rev.), analyzes dozens of new laws passed to respond to #MeToo, including a federal ban on #forcedarbitration, and their importance in the current--much changed--political environment.

Prof. @deborahwidiss.bsky.social has an op-ed out today in Ms. Magazine on a Texas lawsuit challenging the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act.
