• Reproductive Rights and LGBTQ Rights at the Supreme Court

  Jun 11

  9:00AM – 10:00AM

  Sterling Law Buildings | Room: Levinson Auditorium — 127 Wall Street

  Douglas NeJaime, Anne Urowsky Professor of Law, Yale Law School
  Reva Siegel, Nicholas deB. Katzenbach Professor, Yale Law School

  How have recent changes in the composition of the Supreme Court led to changes in the law governing abortion rights and LGBTQ rights? Prof. Siegel will show how the Court strongly reaffirmed Roe in 2016, and then with changes in the Court’s membership, signaled its willingness to repudiate this landmark precedent---and how states in different regions of the country are responding.  Prof. NeJaime will discuss the Court’s protection of LGBTQ families, analyzing the consequences of marriage equality precedents for ongoing disputes over parental recognition in courts and legislatures. The conversation will also briefly address how the Court is providing new protections for religious liberty that limit LGBTQ and reproductive rights.

  Christina Cipriano, Assistant Professor, Yale Child Study Center; Director of Research at Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence

  The compounding traumas and interruptions to schooling brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic catapulted social and emotional learning, or SEL, into the national discourse as a necessary support for our nation's youth and schools. But what is SEL is and why does it matter now more than ever? In this talk Dr. Cipriano will answer these outstanding questions and more by (1) providing a brief history of SEL, (2) discussing what we know (and don’t) about the impact of SEL from Yale's research updating the state of the evidence, (3) unpacking SEL's role in promoting or detracting from educational equity, and (4) identifying opportunities for SEL to support the promotion of school community wellness hereafter.
