Professor Soucek Chosen for Dukeminier Award
An article by Professor Brian Soucek, "Perceived Homosexuals: Looking Gay Enough for Title VII," has been selected for a Dukeminier Award, which recognizes the best sexual orientation and gender identity legal scholarship published in the previous year.
The article was one of three selected by scholars at UCLA School of Law's Williams Institute, which is dedicated to research on sexual orientation and gender identity law and public policy, as well as students who staff the Dukeminier Awards Journal of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Law. Soucek's article, originally published in the American University Law Review, was awarded the Michael Cunningham Prize and will be republished in the Dukeminier Awards Journal.
This is not the first time a King Hall faculty member been honored with a Dukeminier Award. Professor Courtney Joslin received the award in 2010 for her article "Protecting Children(?): Marriage, Gender, and Assisted Reproductive Technology," while Professor Angela Harris's article "From Stonewall to Suburbs? Towards a Political Economy of Sexuality" was given the award in 2006.
Professor Soucek holds a JD from Yale Law School and a PhD from Columbia University. He has clerked for U.S. District Court Judge Mark R. Kravitz in Connecticut, and Judge Guido Calabresi of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. His primary teaching and research interests are antidiscrimination law, civil procedure, constitutional law, and refugee/asylum law.
