Gender back on the agenda in higher education
Higher education practitioners concerned with addressing gender on the curriculum inevitably come up against a complex range of institutional barriers. Research presented here, drawing on in-depth staff interviews, sheds light on such ‘gender work’ and the challenges and its complexities in the current moment in the UK context. Through an institutional case study, we identify multiple ongoing and contemporary challenges arising for those engaged …
Generating Comparison-in-Law
This paper introduces the concept of embodied epistemologies in comparative law and reimagines comparative law as a space of unbounded knowledge production without political end. Drawing on feminist, decolonial and undisciplined gestures this paper interrogates the questions of who, where, when and why in relation to comparative law to expose the coloniality and gendered logic of comparison. To move beyond this, the paper proposes philosophies of…
It’s not something that we think about with regard to curriculum. ’ Exploring gender and equality awareness in higher education curriculum and pedagogy
In recent years, gender mainstreaming has increasingly been positioned as a central policy imperative in many countries. At the same time, gender as a focus of academic study has come under attack in the USA and Europe, and some suggest there to be a crisis in feminist teaching. This renders it vital to explore in the context of contemporary higher education where gender and feminist content and approaches are present and absent. This research se…
Swimming pools, Islamic dress and colonial differentiation
On 23 June 2019, seven Muslim women staged a protest at a swimming pool in Grenoble, France in defiance of rules prohibiting burkinis in swimming pools. French law 2010–1192 criminalizes the bodies of visibly Muslim women by prohibiting full-face coverings in French public space. This creates precarious bodies through law and facilitates an institutional Islamophobia, which I argue circulates in French society through a logic of hygiene. This log…
Islamophobia, Islamic dress and precarious bodies
One of the most visible signifiers of Islam has been the veil – it covers the individual and preserves their privacy, while publicly declaring the identity of its wearer. How it means and what it m
Of Bodies and Burkinis
The 2016 burkini controversy and the criminalization of visibly Muslim women in France is a violent reminder of the precarity of colonial bodies in public space. These laws demonstrate the ongoing management of colonial bodies and communities which speaks over time from historical colonization to present, and future, neocolonial narratives. This article moves beyond the dominant logics of security and gender oppression in the Islamic dress debate…
Securing the Future of the European Court of Human Rights in the Face of uk Opposition
This article highlights transnational consequences for access to justice of political posturing by national governments in respect of the European Convention on Human Rights ( echr ). It charts the uk context preceding the adoption of Protocol 15, which inserts the concepts of subsidiarity and the margin of appreciation into the echr preamble. The article argues that whilst this was an attempt to curb the European Court of Human Rights’ (ECtHR) p…
