2019 Baby Markets Roundtable
Sunday, June 2, 2019
12:00 pm - 7:59 pm
Join GW Law and the University of California, Irvine School of Law as they host the 2019 Baby Markets Roundtable, which will bring together an interdisciplinary group of scholars, policy-makers, civil society advocates, journalists, activists, and others to examine the myriad ways in which families are created, shaped, formed, and regulated. The Roundtable will address the role and status of the child, mother, father, surrogate, grandparents, and the state in the creation and deconstruction of the family. Historically, the Roundtable explores the shifts in family-making, reflecting trends in single- and same-sex parenting as well as the ways in which heteronormativity constructs legal and social norms in child custody, child-rearing, and family planning.
Sonia M. Suter, John and Inge Stafford Faculty Research Professor; Naomi R. Cahn, Associate Dean for Research and Faculty Development and Harold H. Greene Professor of Law; and Ira C. Lupu, F. Elwood and Eleanor Davis Professor Emeritus of Law, will all participate in the Roundtable.
