Working Group on Gender and Law
The Working Group on Gender and Law held its first meeting in Oxford in 2003. It replaced the former Working Group on Women and Law, though with a new agenda and set of concerns, reflecting the shift that has occurred in the field from the early ‘women and the law’ scholarship to more a more recent focus within feminist legal theory on the gendered nature of law and the legal construction of gender. Subsequent meetings have been held in Anavissos, Greece, in 2004, Stilbay, South Africa, in 2005, and a Workshop at Onati in 2006. The South African and Onati meetings have been devoted to rethinking key concepts in feminist legal theory – the first being ‘choice and consent’, and the second ‘equality’. An edited collection of essays from the South African meeting will be published by GlassHouse Press/Routlege Cavendish in 2007. An edited collection arising from the Onati Workshop is currently being prepared for publication as part of the Hart Publishing Onati International Series in Law and Society.
The Working Group will participate in the Berlin law and society conference in July 2007. The theme chosen for discussion at the Berlin meeting is ‘Feminism and the production of knowledge’. We welcome offers of papers on that topic, as well as new members of the working group. Please contact the Working Group chair: Professor Rosemary Hunter
