Marie Boyd

Associate Professor Marie Boyd's article, Preemption & Gender & Racial (In)equity: Why State Tort Law Is Needed in the Cosmetic Context, is forthcoming in the Boston University Law Review.

In the article, Boyd argues that the federal preemption of state tort law may perpetuate and even compound existing racial and gender inequities in the cosmetics context. This article builds on her 2018 article, Gender, Race & the Inadequate Regulation of Cosmetics, which argues that failures in cosmetics regulation disproportionately put women--particularly women who are members of other historically excluded groups--at risk. This article was published in the Yale Journal of Law & Feminism.
