Professor Fenton teaches courses in Family Law, Torts, Race and the Law, Constitutional Law, and a seminar on Critical Race Feminism. Professor Fenton’s research interests cover issues of subordination, including those of race, gender and class. She explores these issues in the greater context of understanding violence and the attainment of justice. She writes in these areas and regularly speaks concerning these and related topics in both national and international fora. She has also served as an advocate for survivors of domestic abuse.

Professor Fenton received an A.B. from Princeton University and a J.D. from Harvard Law School. She served as editor-in-chief of the Harvard BlackLetter Journal. She practiced briefly in the New York firm of Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton before she served as a law clerk to the Honorable Edward R. Korman, United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
