About Me

Daniela Kraiem is the Associate Director of the Women and the Law Program and a Practitioner-in-Residence at American University Washington College of Law. Daniela collaborates with the students, faculty and staff to integrate gender into all aspects of legal education. When she is not teaching courses in gender and law and advanced legal writing, she fundraises for and coordinates grant-funded projects that connect the WCL community with the legal needs and concerns of women and LGBTI persons. For the past decade, she has collaborated with War Crimes Research Office to create the Gender Jurisprudence Collections Project, which focuses on the prosecution of sexual and gender-based violence in conflict. She supports WCL’s comprehensive gender and law curriculum, which includes fifteen courses per year, as well as LLM specializations in “Gender and Law." She works with students to plan substantive and career development events that encourage them to pursue activities and employment focused on gender justice. Prior to joining the Washington College of Law, Daniela represented labor unions and workers as an associate at McCarthy, Johnson and Miller in San Francisco. As a staff attorney at the Child Care Law Center, she specialized in early childhood education workforce development, supporting small child care businesses, and increasing the availability of affordable, high quality child care for all children. Her current research projects span feminist theory, women’s legal history, higher education finance, IP, and caregiving. Follow Daniela at @DanielaKraiem.
