Professor of Law
Director, Tax Literacy Project
Marjorie Kornhauser’s research focuses on the intersection of federal income taxation and society, and explores the philosophical, social, political, gendered and historical aspects of taxation. Professor Kornhauser, who joined the faculty in 2006, enjoys helping students learn about this intersection and understand the more technical aspects of taxation.
Professor Kornhauser was a member of the faculty at Tulane University Law School from 1992–2006, where she was W.R. Irby Professor of Law. She has been a visiting professor at Boston College Law School and at the University of Michigan Law School, and also taught at Cleveland-Marshall College of Law. Before entering academia, Professor Kornhauser practiced law in Cleveland, Ohio.
She frequently lectures both nationally and internationally, most recently, at the Tax History Law Conference at the University of Cambridge in the UK. She writes extensively on taxation topics, and currently is working on an article concerning taxation in the 1930s for a forthcoming issue of Law and Contemporary Problems.
