"POSTER PAPER--#5--He Says, She Asks: Gender, Language, and the Law of Precatory Words in Wills" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the The Law and Society Association, TBA, Berlin, Germany, Jul 24, 2007 <Not Available>. 2009-11-28 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p175349_index.html>Publication Type: Poster
Abstract: Precatory language is often insufficient to create a legally binding trust. Men and women choose different language to express themselves. What is the connection between these two statements?
This article reviews the current status of the law of precatory language, concluding that whether a will including precatory words (such as wish, ask, or recommend) will be construed to create a trust is at best a hit or miss proposition. The article continues to explore the psychology literature on differences in language ability and expression between men and women. Finally, the article ties these two disciplines together, analyzing original empirical data collected from 324 subjects and concluding that women are indeed more likely to use precatory language than men. The article concludes by noting the impact our heightened understanding of gender and precatory language has for courts, legal scholars, and practicing attorneys. |

| 5. Aptheker, Bettina. "“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”: Keeping the Communist Party Straight, 1940s – 1970s" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Studies Association, <Not Available>. 2009-11-28 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p114004_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: Using both the Bettina Aptheker Archive (housed in Special Collections at the University of California, Santa Cruz) and other related archival and secondary sources this paper will begin to interrogate the rhetoric of illegitimacy and ridicule, and the methods of intimidation that were used to marginalize, silence, and/or expel gay and lesbian members of the U.S. Communist Party between the 1940s and 1970s. The paper will also begin a discussion of the struggles of gay and lesbian comrades for acceptance within the Party, and the ways in which they attempted to introduce a Marxist perspective on the political and theoretical connections between women’s liberation and the gay and lesbian liberation movements. |
