The history of job (in)security
This Article uses a history of the push for job security in the United States during the late 20th century to assess New Private Law (NPL) theory.

Feminist welfare theorists have challenged this equation. This article presents three major findings from focus groups with welfare recipients that demonstrate that recipients are also engaged in challenging popular concepts of welfare depen…
