Deborah L. Brake is the John E. Murray Faculty Scholar and Professor of Law at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. Her scholarship focuses on gender discrimination, Title IX jurisprudence, and equality theory, with particular emphasis on sports equity, employment law, reproductive justice, and constitutional protections against discrimination. She has authored extensive research on the intersection of gender, law, and social inequality.
Brake's research explores feminist legal theory, discrimination doctrine, and civil rights enforcement mechanisms. Her work critically examines:
- Title IX's application in athletics and education
- Legal frameworks for addressing pregnancy discrimination
- Systemic barriers in employment retaliation cases
- Constitutional dimensions of transgender rights
- Campus sexual assault adjudication systems
Her recent publications demonstrate sustained focus on evolving gender equality issues, including constitutional challenges to transgender athlete bans, feminist jurisprudence legacy, #MeToo-era workplace dynamics, and reproductive rights under Title IX. The scholarship reveals consistent engagement with contemporary civil rights debates through intersectional feminist frameworks.
