SUMMARY:Spring 2023 Lessons from History on Domestic Violence\, Firearms\, and the Law
DESCRIPTION:One-Day Symposium\nFriday\, May 5\, 2023\nWesleyan University\, Middletown\, CT\nMansfield Freeman Center for East Asian Studies\, 343 Washington Terrace \nEvery month\, around 70 women in the U.S. are shot and killed by their partners. In fact\, firearms are used in the majority of domestic violence homicides today. \nHow has the proliferation of guns in U.S. homes shaped historical patterns of domestic (physical\, sexual\, and psychological) abuse? What are the implications of the Supreme Court’s recent Bruen decision on gun ownership for the domestic violence crisis? What will the likely role of history and historians be in a post-Bruen world where “historical analogy” is the primary test in deciding legal cases? \nThis one-day symposium convened leading researchers and practitioners from a variety of perspectives for a wide-ranging conversation about how firearms and domestic violence are entwined\, historically and today. \nMade possible through a generous contribution from the Amy Schulman Fund for Women and Gender. \n\nSymposium Schedule:\n9:30 a.m. Coffee and pastries \n10:00 a.m. Welcome by Wesleyan Provost Nicole Stanton and CSGS Founding Director Jennifer Tucker \n10:15–11:00 a.m. Originalism\, the Supreme Court\, the Texas Rahimi decision\, & History\, with Saul Cornell\, Reva Siegel\, and Kelly Sampson (Moderator: Kelly Roskam) \n11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. Firearms and Domestic Violence in Historical\, Epidemiologic\, and Contemporary Perspective\, with Jackie Campbell\, Matthew Miller\, and Julia Weber.  (Moderator: Brennan Rivas) \n12:00­–1:00 p.m.  Boxed Lunches provided for registered participants. \n1:00–2:00 p.m. Historians and Legal Scholars on DV\, with Laura Edwards\, Elizabeth Pleck\, & Victoria Nourse (Moderator: Jennifer Tucker) \n2:00–3:00 p.m. Roundtable Panel discussion with Crystal Feimster\, Alicia Nichols\, & Kelly Sampson: “Rethinking Regulation in the U.S.: Why Gun Safety is a Reproductive Issue\, Too” (Moderator: Karen Attiah) \n3:00­­–4:00 p.m. Audience Discussion (Moderators: Karen Attiah and Jennifer Tucker) \n4:00 p.m.  Tent reception and drinks \nSpeakers\nHistorical Research\nLaura F.
