Prof. Thomas Powers publishes essay on The Constitutionalist website
The essay makes the case for the illuminating importance of a somewhat obscure legal “test” used in employment discrimination cases, arguing that it shows how both workplace diversity training and the use of employee discharge (firing employees) is anchored in the law.
“The Constitutionalist is dedicated to the intellectual and political work of constitutional democracy. Our authors are open to a range of political perspectives, but we are unified by a capacious understanding of the constitutional endeavor — namely, we believe that constitutions are sustained not only by law, but also by civil society and civic norms. Using our expertise in political philosophy, American political development, public law, and political culture and literature, we aim to foster conversation across disciplinary lines and beyond the confines of academia.”
