Disputed and disfavored: Pain, mental illness, and invisible conditions in disability discrimination cases
Creative confluence: Lauren Edelman's collaborations
How do six collaborators-a medical sociologist, two law professors, and three graduate students at different stages of their PhD programs-meld their disparate perspectives into one coherent essay memorializing Lauren Edelman, who brought them together for a multi-year study of judicial reasoning in federal disability discrimination cases and then left them, so suddenly and so young, to carry on without her
People Crushed by Law Have No Hopes but from Power”: Free Speech and Protest in the 1940s
In a trio of cases handed down on the same day in 1950, the Supreme Court denied constitutional free speech protection to civil rights picketing and labor picketing. The civil rights case, Hughes v. Superior Court, has often been portrayed as an early test case about affirmative action, but it originated in repression of an alliance of radical labor and civil rights activists exasperated by the legislature's repeated failure to enact fair employm…
Ronny Regev. Working in Hollywood: How the Studio System Turned Creativity into Labor
Working in Hollywood: How the Studio System Turned Creativity into Labor is the first comprehensive labor history of mid-twentieth-century Hollywood. In it, Ronny Regev examines the emergence of modern labor structures and relations in the American film industry during the era (roughly 1920 to 1948) when eight studios dominated the production and distribution of movies. Thoroughly researched, well organized, and written in a lively and accessible…
Story Work: Non-Proprietary Autonomy and Contemporary Television Writing
Based on interviews with three dozen working writers in American television, this paper argues that TV writers assert their status as labor to guarantee their shared craft identity with novelists, dramatists, and authors of other conventional literary material. The tension between writers’ desire for literary prestige on one hand, and their recognition that they create at the behest of company executives, on the other, emerges, alternately, in th…
The People's Network: The Political Economy of the Telephone in the Gilded Age
Courts vs. Unions: Speech and Association Rights under Fire
Author response: Law and the problem of embodied knowledge
Law and the Evolving Shape of Labor: Narratives of Expansion and Retrenchment
This essay muses on the relationship between law, labor organizing, politics, and the role of academic scholarship on law and work since 1980. As globalization of manufacturing and labor migration have transformed American culture and labor, the boundaries of labor studies have expanded. The more expansive understanding of labor evident in modern scholarship is partly attributable to the decline in union density and the rise of social movements f…

After Inclusion
What forms of discrimination are likely to be salient in the coming decade? This review flags a cluster of problems that roughly fall under the rubric of inclusive exclusions or discrimination by inclusion. Much contemporary discrimination theory and empirical work is concerned not simply with mapping the forces that keep people out of the labor market but also with identifying the forces that push them into hierarchical structures within workpla…

There Is Still So Much to Learn from Legislation: [Rejoinder]
Professors Hattam, Forbath, and Orren are important participants in a multifaceted debate about the role of the judiciary in the history of labor law and the impact of legal repression on the American labor movement and politics,1 and I am honored by their attentive replies to my essay. In setting out to write a review essay on their books, I had three aspirations: (1) to explore their common ground while bringing their differences into sharper f…
