Chan Tov McNamarah - Cornell Law School (they/them) is a visiting assistant professor at Cornell Law School, where they teach a seminar on Gender and Sexual Minorities and the Law. Their research focuses on anti-discrimination law and constitutional law, with an emphasis on the Reconstruction amendments and constitutional guarantees of equality. Their current writing scrutinizes the logic, structure, and validity of legal arguments used to oppose the equal citizenship of sexual and gender minorities (persons who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, nonbinary, etc.). That work has been published or is forthcoming in the Columbia Law Review, California Law Review, Cornell Law Review (twice), as well as the online components of UCLA Law Review and Virginia Law Review.
