: Feminist Law ProfessorsYale Law School Is Hosting A Symposium Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act
By Ann Bartow
A Symposium that is being held at Yale Law School on November 7-8th in celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. The Symposium, entitled Respecting Expecting: The 30th Anniversary of the PDA, is being organized by the Yale Journal of Law and Feminism. We will be commemorating this landmark occasion, along with the twentieth anniversary of the Journal, with a two-day conference featuring the women and men who have been involved in every critical phase of the decades-long campaign for sex equality in the workplace. The event will bring together distinguished advocates and scholars from across the country to share their insights into the PDA and the future of workplace equality. Judge Marsha Berzon will be our Keynote speaker.
The tentative schedule for the conference is here. Registration is now open on the website.
