Event details

Feminist Legal Studies will hold a special seminar at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) to consider anew the relationship between feminism, legality and knowledge. In anticipation of FLS’s 25th birthday in 2017, we would like to think with others about the kind of ‘kitchen table’ that FLS might provide into the future. We are delighted that the Institute of Feminist Legal Studies at Osgoode, the Equality and Diversity Forum’s Research Network and Speaking of I.M.E.L.D.A. will join us as co-hosts.

How might feminist legal studies - the approach and the journal - best use its food, equipment, techniques, time, space, mood, energy and commitment?  How shall FLS scholars and associates make the most of what we have in a room that can sometimes be confining and confusing, yet also exciting and sustaining? How do others engage with the processes and products of our kitchen table? In considering such questions and more, we propose to draw reflexively on feminist legacies of praxis, internationalism and openness, as we ‘stock-up’ and critically reflect on decolonizing techniques, know-how, protest and publishing practices.
