MADISON – Gabrielle Rejouis, a senior fellow at Georgetown Law’s Workers' Rights Institute (WRI), has been selected as the 2026 William H. Hastie Fellow.
Rejouis researches the intersection of race, labor and technology. She taught Competition & Regulation in Tech as an adjunct for Georgetown University’s Communication, Culture and Technology Master’s program.
Rejouis earned her J.D. from Georgetown Law in 2018 before joining the Center on Privacy & Technology. At the Privacy Center, she advocated for worker data protections and anti-discrimination principles in consumer privacy and algorithmic accountability policies.
Rejouis also managed the federal technology and antitrust lobbying portfolio at Color of Change and co-facilitated the Tech Justice at Work working group, which convened labor rights and tech policy organizations, at United for Respect.
The University of Wisconsin Law School’s Hastie Fellowship has provided aspiring scholars with an outstanding opportunity to prepare for a career in law teaching since 1973. It honors civil rights advocate William H. Hastie (1904-1976) and was established through the leadership of legendary UW Law School Professor Jim Jones (1924-2014).
The two-year fellowship reflects UW Law’s commitment to expanding opportunities to enter law teaching for people with a broad range of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. Over the decades, the Hastie Fellowship has provided a launching pad for dozens of outstanding law professors, law deans and other leaders in the legal profession. Past Hastie Fellows include University of Tulsa President Stacy Leeds, Columbia and UCLA Law Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw, and Boston College Law Professor Thomas Mitchell.
Fellows pursue a scholarly agenda of their choice, typically prepare two pieces for publication, and receive mentoring in their teaching and scholarship. The fellowship also provides practice opportunities for interviewing in the law teaching market.
“I’m excited to join the Wisconsin Law community as the next Hastie Fellow,” said Rejouis, who started Aug. 24. “I look forward to developing my scholarship and gaining more experience preparing students for careers in labor, employment and technology policy by drawing from my experiences in lobbying and coalition building.”
According to Dean Dan Tokaji, Rejouis’ interdisciplinary focus on worker privacy and rights in our rapidly changing technological landscape is a great fit for UW Law and its law-in-action tradition.
“Gabrielle is an outstanding choice for the Hastie Fellowship, poised to advance UW Law’s longstanding commitment to equal justice under law,” Tokaji said. “She comes to us with exceptional academic and practical experience, poised to become a leader in our profession, like so many prior Hastie Fellows.”
