Diversity Dialogues are monthly lunch-and-learn sessions designed to bring together individuals from across the University to learn about and act upon issues related to diversity and inclusion. This session will feature Claudia Flores, Associate Clinical Professor of Law and Director of the International Human Rights Clinic.
Before her appointment to the Law faculty, Flores was a partner at Hughes Socol Piers Resnick & Dym, Ltd., a boutique law firm in Chicago. There, Flores specialized in civil rights and constitutional matters, with a focus on labor violations against low-wage and temporary workers and qui tam litigation.
Prior to that, Flores served as legal advisor for the United Nations Development Program and UN Women in East Timor and Zimbabwe. Previously, she managed a USAID-funded program to combat human trafficking in Indonesia. From 2003 to 2008, Flores was a staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union in the Women’s Rights Project.
Flores was a recipient of the Skadden Arps Fellowship of the Skadden Foundation and law clerk to US Federal Court of Appeals Judge Harry Pregerson. She was also a Root-Tilden-Kern Public Interest Scholar and Sinsheimer Service Fellow. Flores earned her JD from New York University School of Law and received her BA in philosophy from the University of Chicago.
Lunch will be provided at the event, and space is limited. Please register now and share this invitation with faculty, staff, and students in your unit.
