Schultz assumes the Ford Foundation chair
Schultz has written widely on such issues as workplace harassment, sex segregation on the job, work-family issues and the meaning of work in people's lives. She is currently writing a book in which she contends that managers, the media and some feminists have interpreted sexual harassment law to authorize troubling new forms of sexual surveillance that do little to promote gender equality. In the book, she proposes a new way of understanding sexual harassment. Her articles have appeared in the Yale Law Journal, the Columbia Law Review, the Harvard Law Review and the Chicago Law Review as well as in the International Encyclopedia of the Social and Behavioral Sciences. Schultz has been the subject of feature articles in national publications and she has appeared on national news programs including "The News Hour with Jim Lehrer," "The CBS Evening News," "ABC World News Tonight," "Good Morning America" and National Public Radio. A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, Schultz earned her J.D. at Harvard Law School and was a law clerk to U.S. District Judge Robert E. Keeton and to U.S. District Judge Charles E. Wyzanski Jr., both of the District of Massachusetts. From 1983 to 1986 she was a trial attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division's Employment Litigation Section in Washington, D.C., where she prosecuted violations of the nation's employment discrimination law. She began her academic career at the University of Wisconsin Law School, where she was an assistant professor 1986-1992. There, she was voted "Teacher of the Year" by the graduating classes in the law school in 1990, 1991 and 1992. Schultz was a visiting associate professor at the Yale Law School 1992 to 1993, when she joined the faculty as a professor. She was a fellow of the Whitney Humanities Center 1998-2000 and was a visiting professor at Harvard Law School in the fall of 2001. During the 2000-2001 academic year, she was the Evelyn Green Davis Fellow at Harvard's Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. Schultz is the current president-elect of the Labor and Employment Section of the Association for American Law Schools. She serves on the board of advisers for the Journal of Law and Psychology and the Yale Journal of Law and Feminism.
