Call for Papers: CLS Interdisciplinary Workshop, Deadline for abstracts: 28th March 2025
Rethinking Gender, Sexuality, and the Law: A Conversation between Feminist Scholars in Postcolonial South Asia and the UK
16th – 17th June 2025
This two-day workshop, generously funded by the Centre of Law and Society (CLS) and Journal of Law and Society (JLS), both based at Cardiff University, seeks to facilitate a conversation on the approaches, theories, and experiences of researching gender, sexuality and the law, between scholars in postcolonial South Asia and the UK. The workshop also promises a riveting masterclass in feminist research ethics. This call for papers is open to PGRs, ECRs, and senior academics, whose research area overlaps with this theme. We sincerely believe that now more than ever, there is a necessity to learn from each other as feminists, as we are confronted with the rise of populism and authoritarianism and the crackdown of violence against all minorities across the world.
Please submit your abstract to both Atreyee Sengupta ([email protected]) and Mini Saxena ([email protected]). The deadline for submission of abstracts is 11.59pm (UK time) on Friday, 28th March 2025.
The abstract should be limited to 250 words; please mention your name and affiliation, unless you are an independent researcher. If your abstract is selected, you will be asked to submit a full paper by the first week of May. Papers presented at the workshop will have the opportunity to be included in a Special Research Issue of the Journal of Law and Society.
