We learned of a call for papers
for a conference of the international research network “Gender differences in
European legal cultures”. Here the call:
We are pleased to announce a call
for papers for a conference titled Interactions, Exchanges, and
Transformations: European Legal Traditions and their impact on the Construction
of Gender in a Global Context to be held in Vancouver,
Canada, in 20 - 23 February 2021. The conference is the 11th conference
of the international research network Gender Differences in European
Legal Cultures with the collaboration of Simon Fraser
University, the University of British Columbia, and the University of Northern
British Columbia.
The conference seeks to examine
the interactions between varied European legal cultures and their impact on
gender dynamics, in both local and global contexts. It will explore how legal
traditions overlapped and collided, shaped and displaced each other within
Europe and how European legal cultures were exported around the world. Some of
the themes that our conference seeks to cover are the codifications experienced
in Europe and beyond that included the borrowing of elements from diverse legal
traditions, the imposition of European legal regimes onto colonized societies,
or the voluntary wholesale adoption of certain codes often during
“modernization” drives in such diverse states as the Ottoman Empire, Japan,
Egypt, and Latin America. Our goal is to explore these interactions in Europe
and the broader world and their impact on the development and transformation of
law and gender constructions.
The organizers hope to be able to
cover travel and accommodation expenses for all participants dependent upon
available funding. In case that is not possible scholars from outside North
America and in the early stages of their careers (graduate students, recent
PhDs) will receive priority.
We welcome contributions from all
geographic areas and from comparative perspectives, as well as contributions
reflecting on methodological and theoretical issues. Proposals should include:
1. the title of the presentation
and a 150-word abstract;
2. a short (max 150 word)
academic bio containing contact information for the presenter.
Proposals should be emailed in
Word format to the following conference address:
Deadline for submission: 31
January 2020
