Michelle McKinley (2008-09) Michellle McKinley continued her groundbreaking research on race, gender and cultural citizenship as a Wayne Morse Resident Scholar during 2008-09. Her project was entitled Bringing in Outsiders: Cultural Citizenship in Refugee and Asylum Law. She critically examined a new generation of refugee litigation focused on gender and culture, using the legal ambivalence of the refugee to explore critical aspects of our debate on citizenship. McKinley organized a symposium on Contested Citizenships that was held May 7 and 8, 2009. Senior scholars discussed exciting new works by junior faculty and Wayne Morse Dissertation Fellows. Leti Volpp, Professor of Law at UC Berkeley’s Boalt Hall, gave the keynote address, with comments by Linda Bosniak from Rutgers University. Professor McKinley joined the UO law faculty in 2007. She attended Harvard Law School, where she was Executive Editor of the Harvard Human Rights Journal. McKinley has been active internationally, serving as the Managing Director of Cultural Survival, an advocacy and research organization dedicated to indigenous peoples. In 2009, McKinley was awarded a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship for her book manuscript “Fractional Freedoms: Slavery, Legal Activism, and Ecclesiastical Courts in Colonial Lima, 1593-1700. She will use the fellowship in 2010 and 2011.” Recent papers by Michelle McKinley: Cultural Culprits
