Busted: Policing Women On Top with Courtney Cahill

My guest today is Courtney Cahill, a Chancellor's Professor of Law at UC Irvine School of Law. Professor Cahill is a scholar of constitutional law, anti-discrimination law, sex equality, and LGBTQ equality. Her work examines the role of disgust in lawmaking and the synergies between sex equality and LGBTQ equality. She joins us today to discuss her latest project, Busted: Policing Women on Top, forthcoming in 2026 from Oxford University Press.

Cahill attended Yale Law School after graduating from Princeton University with a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature. UVA Law 3Ls Anthony Freyre and Kimberly Garcia co-host today’s episode.
