March 11th, 2011: Creating Change – Feminism, the University, & Society

University College Dublin – March 11th & 12th 2011

This international conference explores the relationship between feminist academic work and social change. Participants will discuss initiatives that use teaching and research to address inequalities in various domains, sharing insights as to how academics can effectively:

  • Contribute to campaigns for social justice through, for example, direct organising and policy work with non-governmental organizations
  • Engage in emancipatory and feminist scholarship and research practices
  • Support and learn from communities through the medium of clinics and advocacy training
  • Promote approaches to student learning that foster critical understandings of social justice issues

Presenters work within and across the fields of adult education, art, equality studies, human rights advocacy, law and legal practice, politics, social policy, sociology and women’s studies.

Keynote addresses:

  • Rosemary Hunter, Professor of Law, Kent Law School University of Kent

The Feminist Judgments Project

  • Joan Meier, Professor of Clinical Law, George Washington University

The Domestic Violence Legal Empowerment and Appeals Project
