CSWG Graduate Seminar Series: The Law and Legal Systems
Online: Zoom link available in event description

This event was previously scheduled for Wednesday 30th November - but has been moved to Thursday 1st December due to the UCU strike action.

Join us for our first session of this year's graduate seminar series in which we will be using feminist perspectives to critically analyse the legal and carceral systems from a variety of angles. Using case studies from Croatia, India and Spain, our three panellists will lay bare some of the central gendered dynamics that operate throughout the legal processes, from the defining and situating of a crime, to the characterisation of criminal behaviour, through to the formulation and reclamation of identity in a prison context. In doing so, we will be confronted by various patriarchal institutions, gendered constructions and paternalistic narratives that fundamentally shape how these systems of justice function.

Papers:

University of Split - Blanka Cop: "Where Would We Be If We Detained All Family Abusers?" Necessity Of Feminist Perspective in Study and Prevention of Femicide in Croatia

Jawaharlal Nehru University - Shreya Mahajan: Gender and the Law: Construction of insanity by Indian Courts

University of Birmingham - Mia Parkes: Women’s writing in Franco’s prisons: motherhood, femininity, and solidarity
