 * Keep but please rewrite it somebody! She meets WP:SCHOLAR #5 as holding a named chair at one of the US's most distinguished universities: George A. Weiss University Professor of Law and Sociology and the Raymond Pace and Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander Professor of Civil Rights at University of Pennsylvania. Media coverage: reviews of Fatal Invention and brief; of Killing the Black Body; and Shattered Bonds. Substantial coverage in Law & Social Inquiry Vol 20 Issue 4. Other brief press. Interviews. The article is full of peacock language and unsourced claims (everything's "award winning" and "influential") and reads like her PR blurb, but she merits a proper article here. --Colapeninsula (talk) 23:59, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
