Joan C. Williams
Joan C. Williams is a
Distinguished Professor of Law, 1066 Foundation Chair, founding
Director of the Center for WorkLife Law at University of California,
Hastings College of the Law, and Co-Director of the Project on
Attorney Retention (PAR). She is a prize-winning author and expert
on work/family issues. Her book, Unbending Gender: Why Family and
Work Conflict and What to Do About It (Oxford University Press,
2000), won the 2000 Gustavus Myers Outstanding Book Award. She has
authored or co-authored five books and over sixty law review
articles. Referred
to as having "something approaching rock star status" in her field
by The New York Times Magazine, her article "Beyond the Maternal
Wall: Relief for Family Caregivers Who are Discriminated against on
the Job," 26 Harvard Women's Law Review 77 (2003) (co-authored with
Nancy Segal), was prominently cited in Back v.
Hastings on Hudson Union Free School District, 2004 U.S. App. Lexis
6684 (2d Cir. April 7, 2004). Professor Williams has played a
central role in organizing social scientists to document maternal
wall bias, notably in a special issue of the Journal of Social
Issues (2004), co-edited with Monica Biernat and Faye Crosby, which
was awarded the Distinguished Publication Award by the Association
for Women in Psychology. In 2006, she received the American Bar
Association's Margaret Brent Award for Women Lawyers of Achievement.
In 2008, she delivered the Massey Lectures in American Civilization
at Harvard University.
Donna Norton
Donna Norton, Esq., has 20
years of experience in national and international advocacy and
public education on issues of women and girls at the Center for
WorkLife Law, MomsRising, the Family Violence Prevention Fund, and
the U.S. Agency for International Development. Ms. Norton is
particularly interested in issues of women of color and immigrants,
as her mother immigrated to the U.S. from China. She has a law
degree from University of California, Berkeley, a master's degree in
public policy from the London School of Economics, and a B.A. in
international relations from Stanford University. Despite these
accomplishments, she cannot get her children to eat a vegetable. Ms.
Norton loves working with the Center for WorkLife Law because most
of her colleagues work from home, and she can usually hear a child
asking for something during conference calls, which makes everyone
happy.
Jeremy Hessler
Jeremy Hessler is a law
student at University of California, Hastings College of the Law and
is interested in a range of legal topics, including employment,
environmental, and constitutional law. After a short stint in the
Army, he earned a B.A. in English from U.C. Riverside and an M.A. in
Irish Literature and Drama from University College of Dublin. Mr.
Hessler reports that working at the Center for WorkLife Law has been
a great opportunity for him to explore an exciting area of law and
policy, as well as work with great people.
Mary Rauner
Mary Rauner, Ph.D., has
dedicated her career to working on gender issues in educational and
workplace settings both domestically and internationally. Dr. Rauner
has experience in a wide range of organizational settings including
Stanford University, MentorNet, the United States Agency for
International Development (USAID), and numerous social science and
educational research organizations. Dr. Rauner received her B.A.
from Creighton University and her doctorate and masters degrees from
Stanford University. Her work with the Center for WorkLife Law has
been particularly fulfilling because it combines social science
research with training to support women in the workplace,
particularly those in academia. She appreciates that the culture of
WorkLife Law supports the radical idea that non-traditional
employees are legitimate professionals.
Molly Wilkens
Molly Wilkens is currently a
law student at University of California, Hastings College of the
Law. She received two S.B.'s from MIT in Brain and Cognitive
Sciences and Writing and Humanistic Studies. She enjoyed her work
with the Center for WorkLife Law because it allowed her to combine
all of her academic interests - cognitive science, writing and the
law - with her personal interests in people in academia. The person
in academia she is most interested in is her husband, who by now
knows almost as much about this project as she does.
