Anthony Kreis on Defensive Glass Ceilings

In this episode, Anthony Michael Kreis, Visiting Assistant Professor of Law at Chicago-Kent College of Law, Institute for Law and the Workplace, discusses his scholarship on sex-based quarantine rules and other structural barriers that limit women's employment opportunities. He argues that these "defensive glass ceilings" should be prohibited practices under existing employment anti-discrimination laws. Kreis describes how the #MeToo Movement has caused some men to continue or reinvigorate workplace sex-based inequities by, for example, following the Graham-Pence Rule and avoiding women in the workplace to hedge against allegations of wrongdoing or the appearance of impropriety. Kreis' article, Defensive Glass Ceilings, is forthcoming in the George Washington Law Review and is available on SSRN. Kreis is on Twitter at @AnthonyMKreis.This episode was hosted by Matthew A.
