Postcards from a Dying World

Episode# 54 Interview with Law Professor and Civil Rights Attorney Joe Dunman (from mosh pits to the Supreme Court)


Listen Later

In this episode, I interview Joe Dunman. This is part of my series of just cool people I know interviews. I like talking to punk rock and hardcore kids that have avoided the adult crash by doing good stuff. In this case, Joe went from Louisville mosh pits to the Supreme Court to protect civil rights.

Joe is now an assistant professor of legal studies at Morehead State University in Morehead, Kentucky. He teaches undergraduate courses on torts, legal research and writing, administrative law, and individual rights. Before entering full-time teacher, Joe was an attorney in Louisville, Kentucky. His primary areas of legal experience include employment law, civil rights, and constitutional law. He represented the plaintiffs/petitioners in the Kentucky marriage equality cases of Bourke v. Beshear and Love v. Beshear, a landmark civil rights decision by the U.S. Supreme Court.    

We talk about the importance of science fiction, metal, and hardcore in his formation as a do-gooder. The Journey from hardcore to the supreme court and more. At the end, we nerd out on Science fiction for a little bit and I suggest a few books I think Joe needs to check out.
