As the U.S. Supreme Court considers the future of birthright citizenship, this panel brings together leading scholars to examine the constitutional, historical, and legal dimensions of the debate. Panelists will explore the original meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment, its interpretation over time, and the implications of the current case before the Court.


The discussion will feature César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández, Gregory H. Williams Chair in Civil Rights & Civil Liberties at The Ohio State University; Paul Finkelman, Visiting Professor of Law at the University of Toledo; and Kati Barahona-López, Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire.


Together, they will offer complementary perspectives on one of the most consequential constitutional questions facing the Court and the country today.
