Professor McGowan's research critically examines constitutional interpretation frameworks, particularly regarding sex discrimination under the 14th Amendment and the intersection of group identity with constitutional protections. Her scholarship integrates jurisprudential theory with empirical analysis of judicial methodologies, while exploring how biological similarities between genders should inform legal doctrine and public policy in employment and civil rights contexts.
Her publication trajectory reveals evolving focus from statutory interpretation methodologies (2008) toward contemporary constitutional crises, including post-Dobbs reproductive rights implications and structural barriers to gender equality in professional institutions. This body of work consistently bridges theoretical legal analysis with practical applications in discrimination law.
