From east to west, can feminist legal strategies be transformative? Post-disaster to everyday times of crisis
This article engages with a key question raised by feminist legal scholars from the east to the west: whether women should or should not engage in rights strategies? Are rights systematically exercised to reproduce patriarchal, dominant sites of justice, or do rights constitute a multiple and relational force which may transform sites of justice? The experience of women’s engagements with law in South Asia has created a diversity of critical lega…
Time for justice, time for change! The place of academic and community partnerships in promoting local and global rights and challenging injustice
This paper reflects on a three-year research project involving academics and public, private and third sector partners in the UK and India. The team engaged with innovative international outreach research methods to question how listening to ‘voices of experience’ can inform and ‘outrage’ academic and community perspectives on human rights to create and promote local to international access to justice strategies. During the project Keele Universi…

Fractured Sites of Law
In this article I consider how reconstruction processes, from the post-disaster site to everyday life, present a physical, concrete location to trace the way international law shapes and defines cultural, material and social spaces, while producing abstract spaces in which to engage, negotiate with and manipulate social legalities. Following the Maharashtra earthquake in India domestic and supranational law transformed the geographical area of 67…
Rights to Govern Lives in Postdisaster Reconstruction Processes
Natural disasters such as the 2004 tsunami, hurricane Katrina in 2005, and the 2006 South Asian earthquake; the postwar sites of Afghanistan and Iraq; and housing regeneration programs in the UK have allowed international institutions to increasingly gain legitimacy to participate in postdisaster governance through the language of human rights. The World Conference on Disaster Reduction (2005) promoted “people-centered governance” to reduce the v…
Identities in reconstruction
Relocating the Master’s Domain
The post-disaster situation provides an insight into the role of rights in the relocation of social and legal spheres and the location of gender within. Grounded in four years of empirical research in the post-earthquake reconstruction process in Maharashtra, India, this article traces the World Bank and state government policy to relocate 52,000 houses and 67 villages. Lorde’s (1996) analogy of ‘the master’s house’ provides a metaphor for the lo…
