Join APALSA for an informal conversation with Holning Lau, who teaches Comparative Constitutional Law at Duke and is the Willie P. Mangum Distinguished Professor of Law at UNC. Professor Lau's research focuses on comparative and international approaches to equality rights, especially in the contexts of sexuality, gender, and family life. Outside of academia, his advocacy work in recent years has included serving as a human rights consultant to the International Commission of Jurists (2018-2019) and as president of the ACLU of North Carolina (2013-2015). He has also served as an associate dean at UNC School of Law (2016-2018). Professor Lau will discuss his career path. He will also discuss how being Asian American and openly gay has played a part in shaping his work experiences. Lunch will be served. Sponsored by APALSA. Space is limited, so you must RSVP.
