Emily Stolzenberg Receives 2023 Haub Law Emerging Scholar Award in Women, Gender & Law
Professor Emily J. Stolzenberg of the Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law has been selected as the winner of the 2023Â鶹´«Ã½“2024 Haub Law Emerging Scholar Award in Women, Gender & Law for her paper Nonconsensual Family Obligations, 48 BYU L. Rev. 625 (2022). Professor Stolzenberg is an Associate Professor; she teaches Property, Family Law, Land Use, and Advanced Topics in Family Law.
Professor StolzenbergÂ鶹´«Ã½™s research focuses on conflicts between obligation and autonomy in the fields of family law and property. Her scholarship has explored a broad range of family-related issues including the rights of unmarried partners and the privatization of dependency. Her recent scholarship has also appeared in the Maryland Law Review and the Boston College Law Review.
Professor Stolzenberg received her JD from Yale Law School, where she was an Editor of the Yale Law Journal and the Yale Journal of Law and Feminism. She also holds an M.Phil. in Political Theory from the University of Oxford and an AB from Princeton University.
Professor Emily Gold Waldman, a member of the award selection committee and the Associate Dean for Faculty Development at Haub Law, said: Â鶹´«Ã½œProfessor StolzenbergÂ鶹´«Ã½™s thoughtful article asks important questions about whether we are over-relying on consent as a foundation for family support obligations. It critiques consent as a theoretical structure that can contribute to inequality of all kindsÂ鶹´«Ã½”both within a family and between families. This article pushes us all to think about Â鶹´«Ã½˜consentÂ鶹´«Ã½™ in a new way.Â鶹´«Ã½
