handle is hein.journals/haswo20 and id is 1 raw text is: Table of Contents Foreword By Monica R. Moukalif and Darcy Vaughn ........................................... 1 Michelle Obama: A Contemporary Analysis of Race and Gender Discrimination through the Lens of Title VII Article by Gregory S. Parks and Quinetta M. Roberson ................... 3 Pundits and commentators have attempted to make sense of the role that race and gender played in the 2008 presidential campaign. Whereas researchers are drawing on varying bodies of scholarship to illuminate the role that President-elect, Senator Obama's race and Senator Clinton's gender had on their campaigns, Michelle Obama has been left out of the discussion. As Senator Clinton once noted, elections are like hiring decisions. As such, new frontiers in employment discrimination law place Michelle Obama in context within the current presidential campaign. First, racism and sexism are both alive and well within the domains of politics and employment. Second, most racial and gender bias is not express, but unconscious. Third, under Title VII, employment discrimination may be directed at a third party for their association with members of a disliked group. Here, some voters' unconscious race and gender biases against Mrs. Obama likely affected their voting decision vis-A-vis Senator Obama. Loo Law: The Public Washroom as a Hyper-Regulated Place Article by Irus Braverman .............................................................. 45 The article suggests that the public washroom is the most regulated of all common spaces in the United States. It offers several possible explanations for this hyper-juridical attention. First and foremost, the article argues that such hyper-regulation of the public washroom has to do with the sanitary and moral significance of this space. Secondly, it argues that the intensity of washroom regulation is due to its ambiguous public/private properties. Finally, the article suggests that the intense regulation of the public washroom is the result of physio-anatomical functions performed in it.
