Panelists' Biographies: Jonathan D. Kahn Holding a PhD in History from Cornell University and a JD from Boalt Hall School of Law, Dr. Jonathan Kahn writes on issues in history, politics, and law and specializes in biotechnology implications for our ideas of identity and citizenship. Currently, he is studying the legal and ethical implications of how racial categories are produced and disseminated in the course of drug development. Emerging from new ways of thinking about individuals and their relation to society, "genetic citizenship" has become a critical category for assessing and assigning legal rights, forming an important relationship between constitutional law and intellectual property. Kahn has published a book titled Budgeting Democracy: State-Building and Citizenship in America, 1890-1928 (Cornell U. Press, 1997) and has written numerous articles including pieces in the Seton Hall Law Review , Stanford Law & Policy Journal , and the Yale Journal of Health Policy , Law & Ethics . Most recently, he was awarded a major grant from the National Institutes of Health to support a two-year project titled: "Colliding Categories: Haplotypes, Race, and Ethnicity." Kahn practiced with the firm of Hogan & Hartson after graduating from law school, and then went on to complete his PhD and teach at Bard College. Later a Visiting Associate Professor at Harvard University, he has also taught at the University of Minnesota, Cornell University School of Law and Western New England School of Law. Kahn will join the faculty as Assistant Professor of Law. "Law is a powerful tool to shape society and serve the common good. In training new lawyers it is important to impart not only an understanding of what the legal system demands of them, but also a commitment to figure out what they should demand of the legal system." Professor Kahn Appeared on Democracy Now on August 1, 2005 for a program entitled "The FDA Approves a Race-Specific Drug for the First Time in History. Will it Address the Real Health Issues Facing African-Americans?" Michael V.

She also has served as an adjunct professor at Hamline University?s Graduate Liberal Studies Program. Frey traced the path of U.S. ?legal exceptionalism,? which she defined as a strategy that the United States has employed since the Cold War to ?exempt itself and its actions from limitations imposed by existing or proposed requirements of international human rights rulings.? She focused in particular on the United States government?s approach to three treaties: the convention to ban anti-personnel land mines; the Rome statute, which established the international criminal court; and the convention against torture. ?The U.S. has moved from a position of benign exceptionalism toward a willingness to engage in hostile and aggressive diplomatic actions to preserve its role as the world?s sole superpower. This has dramatically undermined human rights and humanitarian norms in the U. S. and internationally,? she said. - The Middle East Post Disengagement (13mb)
