About the Author

Khiara M. Bridges is a distinguished legal scholar and professor whose work incisively explores the intersections of race, class, and reproductive justice within the American legal framework. Holding a J.D. from Columbia Law School and a Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of California, Berkeley, she has dedicated her career to unpacking how privacy rights often fail marginalized communities, particularly in the realms of poverty and bodily autonomy. As a faculty member at UC Berkeley School of Law, Bridges combines rigorous academic analysis with a commitment to social justice, influencing policy debates and classroom discussions alike. Her scholarship challenges conventional notions of rights and equity, advocating for a more inclusive vision of constitutional protections that addresses systemic inequalities.
