2009 NWSA Conference in Atlanta

I am fortunate to be presenting in a panel discussion Sunday November 15 with co-authors from (Re)Interpretations: The Shapes of Justice in Women's Experience (Cambridge Scholars Press 2009).

My paper explores a nearly ten-year legal case of student-on-teacher sexual bullying that took place in an affluent area of Los Angeles.

You can access the full chapter, "Language Teachers and the Law: Resisting Silence," in PDF form here.
