You know, I just did some real basic digging on this woman. Mostly because I found it hard to believe that someone who writes so poorly, could be both a journalist and a professor of law. What I find is that she has a background something like Barack Obama’s. She appears to have been born a college professor and journalist. There is no mention in any bio of hers where she attended school. She just appears, as an Associate Professor at John Jay College after a stint of reporting. She fawns over Obama receiving the Nobel Prize and makes a living out of seeing racism everywhere in the justice system. But it’s like she never existed before her professorship...
Does seem odd. I found her biography at the John Jay website. Normally, it includes where faculty got their degrees, as well as books they have written. But nothing about where she went to college or law school there. Here’s what it says:
Professor Browne-Marshall’s Column in Black Star News is a Call to End Sex Slavery
Associate Professor Gloria Browne-Marshall in the Department of Law, Police Science and Criminal Justice Administration had her column published in Black Star News titled “Sex Trafficking as Modern Day Slavery.” Browne-Marshall portrays the widespread realities of trafficking for prostitution that is occurring in American cities as well as the countries such as Thailand that serve as notorious destination trips for “sex tourists.” At the intersection between 150 anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation and the Senate passing of the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA), Browne-Marshall calls for a new abolition movement to end the international and domestic trafficking of mostly women and girls for prostitution.

She is an attorney with a litigation background in civil rights, children’s healthcare, education, and criminal justice issues, teaches constitutional law at John Jay College. A former Legal Advisor to the Permanent Representation to the United Nations in Geneva and New York of the African Bureau of Educational Sciences/OAU, she has presented interventions before the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, on issues of racial justice. In addition to teaching courses on constitutional law and evidence, Professor Browne-Marshall is the author of two books, The Constitution: Major Cases and Conflicts and, more recently, Race, Law, and American Society: 1607 to Present.
Professor Browne-Marshall’s forthcoming book is “Black Women and the Law.”
The J.Jay U listing doesn’t have a bio for her like they do for the rest of the staff.
So you must wonder where she came from..where she went to school.
I’ve been digging on-and-off for hours since you posted (and I’m a pretty good researcher) yet I still have NO IDEA what colleges she attended. NONE. It’s almost like they’ve been redacted. Fishy as hell.
