The Cambridge Companion to Gender and the Law
To what extent is the legal subject gendered? Using illustrative examples from a range of jurisdictions and thematically organised chapters, this volume offers a comprehensive consideration of this question. With a systematic, accessible approach, it argues that law and gender work to co-produce the legal subject. Cumulatively, the volume's chapters provide a systematic evaluation of the key facets of the legal subject: the corporeal, the functio…
Legal research and the public good
This paper is a revised version of a plenary lecture delivered at the SLS Annual Conference held at Oxford Brookes University in June 2023. It adopts an auto-ethnographic approach, drawing on the author's long experience of participating in the UK Research Excellence Framework (REF), to assess the current state of legal research in the UK and consider the implications of the increasing importance in the research landscape of engaging in research …

Law and Gender
Gender is an increasingly prominent aspect of the contemporary debate and discourse around law. It is curious that gender, while figuring so centrally in the construction and organization of social life, is nevertheless barely visible in the conceptual armoury of law. In the jurisprudential imagination law is gender-less; as a result legal scholarship for the most part continues to hold on to the view that gender plays little or no role in the co…

Following the Path to Equality Through Law
Intersectionality and UK Equality Initiatives
This article considers the viability of intersectionality as an analytical and strategic tool within the context of recent UK equality initiatives, in particular the expansion of-rounds upon which a discrimination claim can be based, the establishment of a new single equality body, the Commission of Equality and Human Rights (CEHR), and the anticipated streamlining of equality legislation. The article contends that while intersectionality has pla…
Extending the Reach of Human Rights to Encompass Victims of Rape
Special Issue
Reassessing the Feminist Theoretical Project in Law
This article seeks to address the current state of theoretical debate within feminist legal studies in the United Kingdom and beyond. It is part map, part critique of dominant theoretical trends – an attempt to identify and explore a range of questions about feminist scholarly engagement in law, including the relationship between academic feminism and political activism, the distinction (if any) between ‘feminist’ analyses and broader engagements…
Enhancing Civil Remedies for (Sexual) Harassment
Pregnancy, Equality and the European Court of Justice
The object of this paper is to highlight and scrutinise the continuing difficulties which characterise national and European judicial efforts to reconcile the apparently conflicting needs of the workplace and its pregnant workers. In particular, the prevailing dominant legal conceptualisation of pregnancy as an aspect of sexual equality generates an unsatisfactory indeterminacy and manipulability in relation to the determination and application o…

Harassment and the law of torts
Pregnancy and the Workplace
Women in Britain currently constitute over forty-five per cent of the workforce. This represents a considerable increase in the economic activity of women in the post-war period, particularly married women.' It becomes increasingly misleading to view paid work as predominantly the province of men although this perception still characterizes most textbook presentations of labour law.2 Despite the reality of women's substantial presence in the labo…
Critical Labour Law
Women in Confinement
minimum standards' for the protection of employees have been transformed from the status of basic rights to rare rewards - or have they? With the maternity provisions and indeed employment protection generally openly under attack as part of the present government's policy of deregulation, the question arises as to what extent these provisions are worth preserving.2 It may appear obvious that feminists should engage in the struggle to preserve the…
