Professor Drobac Presents at the Global Meeting on Law and Society
07/20/2022
IU McKinney Professor Jennifer Drobac was a presenter in July at the 7th Global Meeting on Law and Society in Lisbon, Portugal.
Her topic, “The Misappropriation, Embezzlement, Theft, and Waste of Corporate Human and Financial Assets: Sexual Harassment Reconceived” (forthcoming American Bar Association Journal of Labor and Employment Law Journal, Summer 2022), suggests how sexual harassment should be treated by companies as a civil misappropriation, embezzlement, conversion, or theft—as well as a civil rights violation.
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 decision making in vulnerable adults and how the science should influence law reform, particularly the law of consent. She is a Samuel R. Rosen Professor of Law.
