Law, Gender and Sexuality: The making of a field

6th March 2009 @ Westminster University

As we come to the end of 5 years of AHRC funding for CentreLGS, now is an apposite time to reflect on the 'field' emerging in law, gender & sexuality.  In what promises to be a stimulating evening of lively panel discussion, we will explore the challenges confronting this area of research and scholarship, and ask: what benefits, possibilities, risks, and dangers accompany the establishment of a research terrain.  

Speakers:  Brenna Bhandar, Joanne Conaghan, Sameena Dalwai, Alison Diduck, Ruth Fletcher, Les Moran, Oliver Phillips and Harriet Samuels    

Panel members will speak for about 10 minutes addressing the questions below, followed by an open discussion.  

Questions to be explored include:

  1.  What kind of field is 'law, gender & sexuality'?
  2.  Is being a 'field' something worth striving for - what are the benefits, as well as the dilemmas and risks, of becoming consolidated and defined?
  3. How has the field of law, gender & sexuality evolved/ changed (and how has its relationship to other fields such as women and the law, feminist legal studies, queer legal studies, critical race theory etc also evolved and changed)?
  4. What are the current challenges and difficulties for the field?
  5. What intellectual and political resources appear most promising in taking the field (or its multiple intersecting fields) further?

Venue & Time: The Board Room, Regent Street Campus, London, 7pm

The event is now fully booked but please email Mima (M.vicentijevic@kent.ac.uk)
if you would like to be placed in the waiting list.
