She has a deep background in Sport: she is the co-founder of the Black Women In Sports Foundation, was Chair of the USOC Legislation Committee and Vice Chair of the USOC Audit Committee, and a member of the UW Madison Athletic Board. From 2013 to 2019, she was a member of the National Institutes of Health National Advisory Committee on Minority Health and Health Disparities.

She enjoys the jazz, hiking and biking, cooking, and the visual and performing arts. She has traveled to 45 countries, often to lecture and most recently to Japan, Greece, South Africa, and Thailand. On all trips domestic or foreign, she visits museums, galleries, important architectural sites, and artists’ studios. Paper: Beyond George Floyd: Reparations for Past and Present Structural Racism Angelica Guevara Dr. Guevara works on disability rights in higher education. Being a neurodivergent Latina herself, she encountered countless obstacles when requesting her disability

accommodations in the course of obtaining her B.A. from UCLA, her J.D. from UC Berkeley Law, and her Ph.D. from UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Education. Having a non-apparent disability makes it difficult to be believed and often not fully accepted by people with apparent disabilities. Given the low expectations placed upon people with disabilities as a result of stigma and stereotypes makes it all the more challenging for people with disabilities to obtain their reasonable accommodations in higher education. People with disabilities were not expected to achieve so much. If they do reach such academic heights, they are seen as frauds or fakes because the sentiment is “how disabled are you if you got this far?” The “Operation Varsity Blues” scandal exacerbated this sentiment, where wealthy parents were telling their kids to act “stupid” to be diagnosed with a disability to obtain more time on entrance exams. Unfortunately, such a fraudulent act by a few parents affects all students with non-apparent disabilities such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), multiple sclerosis (MS), psychiatric disabilities, learning disabilities, Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD), diabetes, and dyslexia to name a few. Students with non-apparent disabilities already fear coming out of the closet and embrace their disability, and such scandals only marginalize this population, even more, fearing that they would be seen as “frauds” or “stupid” if they come out. Much of her work explores the intersectionality of the law concerning race, class, gender, and disability. She is using Disability Studies and Critical Race Theory as a framework (DisCrit). She is exploring the idea of Ableness as Property in the legal field just as Cheryl I. Harris once proposed Whiteness as Property. Paper: The Need to Reimagine Disability Rights Law Because the Medical Model Fails Us All Mitu Gulati Mitu Gulati is on the faculty of the Duke Law School. His current research, with multiple co-authors, is on how sovereign debt contracts may be modified to deal with another sudden stop to the emerging markets (see here, https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3586785). As of this writing, they have no satisfactory answer. But they are working. Paper: “Lipstick on a Pig”: Specific Performance Clauses in Action Kathryn Hendley Kathryn Hendley is the Roman Z. Livshits & William Voss-Bascom Professor of Law & Political Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her scholarship explores the role of law in contemporary Russia. She is currently engaged in a study of young Russian lawyers based on an NSF-funded survey of recent law school graduates fielded in 2016. Her work has been published in a wide variety of law and social science journals. Her most recent book, Everyday Law in Russia, was published by Cornell University Press in 2017. She earned her ph.d. at the University of California at Berkeley, her J.D. from the UCLA School of Law, and her undergraduate degree from Indiana University. Paper: Do Lawyers Matter in Russia?
