Ra'Shya's scholarship focuses on intersectionality and the power relationships related to gender, race, culture, poverty, trauma, human-trafficking, and constitutional law. Specifically, her work considers the tangible ways in which the law legitimizes identity as a social reality and as a hierarchal system.

  • I really enjoyed your class this semester and have arguably learned more through this class than any other while in law school.

    Matt B.

  • Ra’Shya!! I didn’t get a chance to say hi and tell you how amazing and dope you are and that panel was amazing! This training needs to be mandatory for all conference participants.

  • On a side note, thank you for teaching this semester at the College of Law, I thought it was very valuable experience. Taking your class made me aware of many issues about race that I had not thought about before. I hope you enjoyed teaching the class as much as I did learning from it, and I think the law school would be thrilled to have you teach again! Stay in touch.

  • I wanted to take a moment to thank you for class this semester. Race and American Law has been a favorite and certainly the most important course I have taken in my academic career. I came into the semester feeling unsure about what I wanted to do with my career as an attorney. I have been teetering for a long time between my passions for criminal defense and civil rights, and areas of law that are supposed to be more lucrative, such as estate planning. The discussions and readings throughout the semester reminded me of why I came to law school in the first place; to use my privilege, advantages, and skills to serve those who have never had such advantages. The opportunity to learn, discuss, and build a greater understanding of the topics we covered in class was truly a gift. It has allowed me to build a scaffold under which I can continue to learn and collect more information, and I know I will be a better attorney for it.

  • I want to say thank you for an amazing semester. I enjoyed every single class. You were so open to all of our perspectives and helped us challenge every thought we have and how it might impact those around us. I hope you get the opportunity to teach similar classes in the future because I would definitely take them.

  •  I would like to thank Professor RaShya (Cunningham) Ghee for teaching this paradigm shattering course. Having the opportunity to engage with both topical and historic material regarding Race and American Law has been one of the most meaningful law school experiences. Truly safe spaces to discuss America’s problematic sociohistorical and legal relationship with race are hard to find. Professor Ghee, however, has cultivated such a space in her classroom by facilitating challenging discussions while maintaining the need to substantiate arguments under a legal framework. Having the ability to relate legal theory, case law, and statutory/textual analysis to the current social and political zeitgeist, Professor Ghee has found a way to simultaneously personalize and generalize, perspectives that often run afoul one another.

One of the universal themes connecting non-white c One of the universal themes connecting non-white communities, is our reliance on oral traditions. This is the legacy of lots of things. For those from South and Central America, this is partially the legacy of the Spanish conquest that burned all of their history books 🥺 and they had to use oral traditions to preserve those ancient jewels.

For Black Americans, this is the legacy of slavery prohibitions on reading and writing. Indeed, most scholars of African American studies believe that jazz, blues, funk, and hip hop are a continuation of this legacy. A legacy of storytelling. 
•
Many indigenous communities believe that their elders hold the memories and teachings of their people. They believe that through their language, the elders pass on the secrets of their histories. It is one of the harshest thing they’ve had to grapple with because of COVID: losing their elders at record rates.

I share these histories with you in hopes that we can disrupt the devaluing of difference. That’s the inevitable result of failing to  internalize the message in this picture. Schools in California tried to codify Ebonics and give it the credibility it deserves as a creative mode of expression engendered by oppression but that adds vibrancy and texture to American discourse. If we’re entering a new era of America inclusion, let’s shift our thinking across a spectrum of dynamics. Happy New Inclusive America Forreal This Time Day fellow Americans!
