Geoffrey Stone: "Sexing the Constitution"
A Festival perennial – and favorite – returns with a look at how and when the Supreme Court of the United States has weighed in on what happens in the privacy of our bedrooms. Starting with the court’s recent decision on same-sex marriage and moving back to review cases involving contraception and reproduction, leading constitutional scholar and University of Chicago professor Geoffrey Stone considers how the court has come to see issues related to sex as constitutional rights.
This program is presented as part of the annual Karla Scherer Endowed Lecture Series for the University of Chicago.
