Confronting "Unwelcomeness" from the Outside: Using Case Theory to Tell the Stories of Sexually-Harassed Women
Jackson, Margaret Moore
Abstract
The article critiques the legal requirement that sexual harassment plaintiffs must prove the conduct was unwelcome, arguing that this element perpetuates cultural biases against women and undermines their ability to challenge discrimination. It proposes using case theory and storytelling to counter these biases, framing clients' stories in ways that preserve their dignity and challenge stereotypes.
