On behalf of the faculty, staff, and students of Iowa Law, I extend to each of you a warm welcome to the University of Iowa College of Law and the Tenth Annual Commemorative Lutie A. Lytle Black Women Law Faculty Writing Workshop. We are honored to host you in the Boyd Law Building, and we look forward to the scholarship that will begin or advance during your time in Iowa City. Professor Angela Onwuachi-Willig and the members of the planning team have attended to every detail to ensure another successful year. I regret that I am out of town and will miss the opportunity to greet old friends and meet new ones.

The Workshop was founded on the collaborative thinking of a small number of forward-looking faculty members. From an e-mail writing group organized by Professor lmani Perry (Princeton University) that led to a gathering at the Chicago home of Professor Michele Goodwin (UC Irvine School of Law) to a conversation among Professors Angela Onwuachi-Willig (Iowa Law), Sacha Coupet (Loyola University Chicago School of Law) and Ruqaiijah Yearby (Case Western Reserve University School of Law), this Workshop began with an exchange of ideas about how to build and support a powerful community of black women legal scholars. Here at Iowa Law, Professor Onwuachi-Willig's initiative and hard work created the structure for the first conference. The vision and commitment that launched the first Workshop continue to inspire us.

The Iowa Law community takes great pride in our role in that inaugural Lutie Lytle Workshop in 2007. We owe a debt of gratitude to my predecessor, Dean Emerita Carolyn Jones, for offering Iowa Law as the host for that first program and supporting Professor Onwuachi-Willig's important leadership. As we look back to the 2007 event and members of our community who contributed to this effort, I extend thanks to those who call (or once called) Iowa Law their academic home: Provost Marcella David (now at Florida A&M University), Vice Dean and Professor Peggie Smith (now at Washington University Law), and Associate Dean and Professor Adrien Wing (Iowa Law). We are pleased that this year's planning committee selected Iowa Law as the host for the tenth annual Workshop.

Ten years is an occasion for celebration of this initiative, and of the many careers launched and nurtured as a result of it. We share in the excitement of other law schools and organizers who have contributed significantly to the growth of this conference over the past decade. The participants in this program, past and present, have enriched the legal academy with their voices and have advanced the dialogue on a wide range of topics in the law. Thank you for letting Iowa Law be part of this milestone. Have a productive Workshop this weekend. We hope to see you on the 20th Anniversary, if not sooner.

Very truly yours,

Gail B. Agrawal Dean and F. Wendell Miller Professor of Law

Dear Lutie Ladies:

Welcome back to the University of Iowa College of Law! We are delighted to have you here for the Tenth Annual Commemorative Lutie A. Lytle Black Women Law Faculty Workshop. Your presence at this year’s Workshop marks the incredible advances we have made since Lutie Lytle entered this profession in 1897 as a “society of one.”

This historic Workshop would not be happening without the efforts of so many people. First, let me offer a broad thanks to everyone who has played a role in this endeavor. Like Dean Agrawal, I thank Professors Michele Goodwin (UCI) and Imani Perry (Princeton) for planting the seeds for our collaboration. Professor Perry’s e-mail writing group for untenured black women faculty in 2004 led to Professor Goodwin’s invitation for a small group of six of us to offer constructive feedback on each other’s papers at her home in Chicago. That experience, in turn, led to a conversation at a Midwest People of Color Legal Scholarship Conference, where Professor Ruqaiijah Yearby and I raved to Professor Sacha Coupet about how much we appreciated the opportunity to discuss our work in such a welcoming space. The three of us wondered out loud whether such a space could be expanded to serve a larger group. When I returned home, I drafted and submitted a proposal and budget for a writing workshop to be held here at the College of Law. Without hesitation, our then-Dean Carolyn Jones agreed to fund the workshop. I thank her immensely for her commitment and the support and encouragement she provided for our initial gathering.

I also am very grateful to Dean Gail Agrawal for her strong support of this year’s Workshop. Along with her decanal staff, Dean Agrawal has been a wonderful advocate for this project. My sincere thanks to Associate Dean Adrien Wing, Assistant Deans Jill DeYoung and Gordon Tribbey, Accounting Manager Angela McMullin, Trenton Tappan, and all of my research assistants. I must give special thanks to Melanie Stutzman, who has worked tirelessly on this workshop, from day one. Final thanks at the University of Iowa must be given to Provost Barry Butler and Associate Vice President and Chief Diversity Officer Georgina Dodge.

I also express my and our deepest gratitude to our sponsors. Their generous support over the past nine years makes it possible for us to continue this unparalleled endeavor. Since 2007, nine other law schools have hosted the Workshop: Denver University Sturm College of Law and the University of Wyoming College of Law, Seattle University School of Law, the University of Kentucky College of Law, Thurgood Marshall School of Law at Texas Southern University, Suffolk University Law School, UNLV William S. Boyd School of Law, the University of Wisconsin Law School, and Vanderbilt Law School. We are exceedingly thankful for the institutional support as well as the hard work of our faculty hosts at each school. Hosting this conference is a labor of love, and we could not do it without the broad support of Workshop participants and their home institutions. To that end, we are pleased to announce that the 2017 Workshop will be hosted by the University of Michigan Law School!

Of course, I must thank the 2016 Lytle Planning Committee members for their amazing work, commitment, and dedication. I give special thanks to Professors Taja-Nia Henderson, Victoria Shannon

Sahani, and Shaakirrah Sanders, who have all gone above and beyond the call of duty. Others such as James Somerville (who designed the program cover, commemorative poster, and 2016 t-shirt), Professor Erika George, Dr. Irma McClaurin, Professor Karla Erickson, and the band 34 Steps have generously offered their unique talents to support this community, and I thank them.

In 2007, when I created the program for “The Iowa Faculty Summer Writing Workshop: Honing the Voices of Black Women” (we did not yet have the Lutie Lytle name!), I decided to include not only paper workshops, but also plenary panels and candid “rap sessions” that could provide advice about ensuring a path to tenure and promotion and could better equip participants with strategies for combating the challenges that black women commonly face in legal academia. Each year, we have built on the original Workshop, refining the program to make our gatherings stronger and more effective. As I mentioned in my invitation letter for the 2007 Workshop,

The group is a much needed and important resource for black female law faculty. Statistics from the American Association of Law Schools (AALS) reveal that black women make up just 4.3% of all tenured and tenure track faculty at law schools in the United States. Additionally, other AALS reports indicate that the “retention rate for faculty of color is dismayingly low.” [The College of Law] view[s] this workshop as just one of many steps that are critical to enhance the scholarly output and successful professional progression of black female faculty in the legal academy, especially untenured black female faculty.

Given these goals, the Lutie Lytle Workshop has been an unqualified success. Since the inception of the Workshop, its attendees have published more than 652 articles, 74 book chapters, and 34 books. More importantly, Workshop sisters have continued the legacy of Lutie Lytle over the past nine years by fostering a collective spirit of inclusion and advancement in the academy. That spirit is reflected in our numbers. In 2007, this Workshop began with just 25 women; today, we stand at 125, a number that far exceeds our estimates and expectations!

For me and many others, the Lutie Lytle Workshop serves as a beacon that keeps us pushing forward in rough times. Each of us should be proud of this work. I know that Professor Lutie Lytle herself would be incredibly proud of this moment, and of all of you. When Lutie Lytle, the daughter of a slave, joined the law faculty at Central Tennessee College of Law in 1897, newspapers hailed her as the first female law professor in the United States and perhaps the world. At the time, she likely could not have imagined 125 black women law faculty gathering in her name in 2016. Indeed, after Professor Lytle, no other black woman taught again in the legal academy until 1925, when Professor Ollie May Cooper taught one course at Howard University Law School, receiving neither recognition nor pay for her labor.

As we come together for this historic gathering, I know that the spirit of Lutie Lytle is in this place. I am certain that she would see herself in all of us, just as we see ourselves in her. As we have come to say and as your t-shirt proclaims, we are Lutie!

Sincerely,

Angela Onwuachi-Willig Charles M. and Marion J. Kierscht Professor of Law University of Iowa College of Law

During this year’s Workshop, Akyea will offer classes that explore Afro-Cuban rhythms and the symbolic movements associated with the Orishas (African deities of the Yoruba / Lucumi tradition) and those of Palo (forces in Las Reglas de Congo practice.) Participants will be introduced to secular rhythms such as the Rumba, and, finally, the particular stories that make them churn.

Based on requests from previous Workshop participants for sessions that take a “deeper dive” into paper drafts, these intensive workshops have been added to the schedule. These sessions will follow the format of the Iowa Legal Studies Workshop, which itself is modeled after the format ordinarily used in the Iowa Writers’ Workshop.

FORMAT

Under the Iowa Legal Studies Workshop format, the presenting author does not speak at all for the first 50 minutes of her hour-long session; she speaks only during the last 10 minutes. Only the readers of the paper—everyone else in the assigned small group, including the author of the other paper—will speak during the session, and the author will listen. For this reason, each small group member is required to read both papers assigned to her group prior to each workshop session. In other words, before attending her assigned workshop group sessions at 11:30 a.m. on July 7, 2016, each small group member should have read the two papers assigned to her group. During the first 25 minutes of each individual workshop, attendees will relay to the author (i) what they believe the author’s thesis / argument is and (ii) whether they find the author’s argument to be convincing. Then, during the next 25 minutes, attendees will provide substantive feedback to the author on how she may improve her paper. The author may respond to the readers’ comments or ask follow–up questions only during the final 10 minutes of the workshop session.

13

Powerful use of language to critique, enlighten, and lead often brings us to the academy. Yet, throughout our careers, writing is often a source of both pain and pleasure. We struggle with our desire to be change agents in our communities as well as prolific and influential writers. How can we minimize resistance – both internal and external – and overcome structural obstacles to arrive at a mindset and a schedule that allows us to look forward to our writing? In this session, we will address some of the common procedural errors and obstacles to connecting with our writer’s voice; prioritize our projects; and talk with other writers about what works, what clogs our scholarly pursuits, and what enables us to locate and wield the most pointed and frank version of our writer’s voice.

Rachel Anderson I published “Inattentional Blindness: Psychological Barriers Between Legal Mandates and Progress Toward Workplace Gender Equality” in the Santa Clara Journal of International Law. I was also appointed to lead UNLV’s Voter Education Program as part of the 2016 Presidential Debate activities hosted by UNLV, and was named a Leader in Diversity in The National Jurist and preLaw Magazine.

Kristen Barnes I was awarded tenure!

Rabia Belt Two of my articles, “Ballots for Bullets?: Disabled Civil War Veterans and the Vote” and “Contemporary Voting Rights Controversies Through the Lens of Disability” were accepted for publication by the Stanford Law Review.
