Susan Hinely
Susan Hinely (PhD, European History, Stanford University; JD, Harvard Law) is a Visiting Professor at Stony Brook University where she taught global history, gender history, and constitutional law for many years. Prior to her academic career, she practiced law in New York City, specializing in sovereign client representation as well as in political asylum and refugee policy. She continues to combine the fields of history and law in her scholarship, which focuses on late nineteenth and early twentieth century ideas and activism on behalf of an imagined international legal community, especially as developed by the global women’s movement. This work is informed by her continuing legal advocacy in immigrants’ rights, including protection of unaccompanied immigrant minors.
