  • Title: Gender and the Law: A Case Study of Retaliation and Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

    aper Assignment #2 for Gender and the Law
    For Week 5, the syllabus and modules asks you to read the following material.
    Week 5: Monday, June 17 – Sunday, June 23
    Read: Thomas: Chapter 9/Don’t Shoot the Messenger: Burlington Northern & Santa Fe
    Railway Company v. White (2006)
    **Paper Assignment Due: Sunday, June 23 by 11:59pm**
    Assignment
    After reading chapter 9, reviewing the PowerPoint and other materials posted in modules as well
    watching the film on the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas case, write a paper that answers the
    following questions.
    Cite specific examples from the text to explain why Sheila White filed a lawsuit against her
    employer, including the retaliation aspects of the case.
    Do you agree or disagree with how this case played out both with her employer and with the
    court system? Cite specific examples from the text and explain why you feel as you do.
    After reviewing the PowerPoint in modules, consider the following. Many allegations against
    people (typically men) who commit sexual harassment are made many years after the incident(s)
    happen. Should an alleged victim be able to make an allegation many years – even decades –
    after it happened? Explain your thinking.
    Review the article I posted on the case of Sean “Diddy” Combs. Is there anything you learned in
    this section of the course that provides insights into this case?
    If you can access it, watch the following film based on Anita Hill’s early 1990s sexual
    harassment allegations against (current) Supreme Court Justice, Clarence Thomas. What is your
    reaction to this case? Do you see similarities to points we have learned in this section of the
    course on sexual harassment? Do you think the case would have been the same or different if it
    happened after the #metoo movement?
    Trailer to the film, Confirmation (2016):

    (If you cannot access the film, there are many other interviews and documentaries regarding the
    Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas case that you can access free online to learn about the case).
