Professor Eyer's Bio:
Katie Eyer is an anti-discrimination law scholar, teacher, and litigator. She is a leading expert on LGBTQ and disability rights and on social movements and constitutional change. Her 2019 article, Statutory Originalism and LGBT Rights, has been credited with originating the textualist argument that the Supreme Court adopted in the landmark case of Bostock v. Clayton County, 590 U.S. __ (2020) (holding that anti-LGBT discrimination is discrimination "because of...sex" under Title VII).
Professor Eyer's disability rights articles include Claiming Disability, 101 B.U. L. REV. 547 (2021), Am I Disabled? Disability Identity and Law Faculty, 71 J. LEGAL EDUCATION 76 (2021), and Disability and the Ongoing Federalism Revolution, 133 YALE L. J. __ (2023) (forthcoming) (with Karen Tani).
