Garrett Epps (2007-08) Garrett Epps was the 2007-08 Wayne Morse Resident Scholar and Orlando John and Marian H. Hollis Professor of Law at the University of Oregon. He researched the legislative history of the birthright citizenship guarantee of the 14th Amendment, a crucial issue in light of debates over increased immigration. The research follows Garrett's intriguing research that led to his recent book, Democracy Reborn: The Fourteenth Amendment and the Fight for Equal Rights in Post-Civil War America, which won him a 2007 Oregon Book Award. His project is potentially foundational work with important implications for law and policy. Epps organized and spoke at a symposium entitled Immigration and Citizenship on January 25, 2008. Invited guests were Kevin R. Johnson from UC-Davis School of Law, Hiroshi Motomura from UNC School of Law and Dr. John Eastman currently Dean and Donald P. Kennedy Chair in Law at Chapman University School of Law. Professor Epps publishes articles regularly in popular media:
Gordon Lafer (2007-08) Gordon Lafer, was also a 2007-08 Wayne Morse Resident Scholar and is Associate Professor at the Labor Education and Research Center and Political Science Department. His project focused on creating more democracy at the workplace. He argued that union representation elections do not pass the test of “free and fair” democratic elections. The final phase of his book-length project suggested policy recommendations for U.S. labor law and reframe our theoretical understanding of the relationship between unions and democracy. Lafer organized a discussion on April 7, 2008, entitled “Enduring Feudalism? The State of Federal Labor Law” at the Knight Law Center. The talk included a discussion of the difference between employer and employee free speech rights at the workplace, and it examined the legal rights of employees to participate as citizens in elections to public office compared with workplace elections for unionization.
