Professor Drobac Presents Latest Scholarship at Stanford University
05/23/2022
Professor Jennifer Drobac was an invited presenter on her draft article titled “Sexual Abuse Survivors and ‘the Mann Effect.’” The piece explores the science of the ways that sexual harassment targets respond to their trauma and how those documented responses can negatively influence their legal status, position, or case. The event took place during Stanford BioLawLaPalooza at Stanford Law School in Stanford, California, May 13-14, 2022.
Professor Drobac is a widely known expert in sexual harassment law. She is an author of the textbook, Sexual Harassment Law: History, Cases and Practice, recently published by Carolina Academic Press. She co-authored the book with Professor Carrie N. Baker of Smith College and Professor Rigel C. Oliveri of the University of Missouri School of Law. Professor Drobac is at work on her next book, The Myth of Consent, which is under contract with Cambridge University Press. That work will explore the neuroscience of adult decision making and how the science should influence law reform, particularly the law of consent. She is a Samuel R. Rosen Professor of Law.
