CFP: ‘Law, the Body and Embodiment: Contemporary and Historical Perspectives’ Australian Feminist Law Journal, Volume 46(1) 2020. Abstracts to be submitted by March 31, 2019.

How does the law preclude, encourage, marginalize, or stratify particular kinds of embodiment, if at all – and how are particular kinds of embodiment gendered, sexed, classed and/or racialized? What role does culture play in relation to law and the body, and vice-versa?’ Click here for more information
