Biography
Joseph Fishkin is an assistant professor of law at the University of Texas School of Law. He received a B.A. in Ethics, Politics, and Economics from Yale
University and a J.D. from Yale Law School. He received a D. Phil. in
Politics from Oxford University, where he was a Fulbright scholar.
After law school, he clerked for Chief Justice Margaret Marshall of the
Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts. Before joining the UT faculty,
he was a Ruebhausen Fellow at Yale Law School.
Fishkin's research and teaching interests include employment
discrimination, election law, education law, constitutional law, torts,
and distributive justice. He is particularly interested in questions of
equality and equal opportunity at the intersection of law and political
theory. His most recent essay, "Weightless Votes," appeared in the Yale Law Journal in Spring 2012. His book manuscript, Opening the Bottlenecks: A New Theory of Equal Opportunity,
will be published in 2013 by Oxford University Press (chapters
available on request). He is currently at work on an article on the
anti-bottleneck principle in employment discrimination law.
