Call for Papers: Colloquium on "Gender, (In)equalities, and the State" To mark the occasion of Dr. Karen Pearlston’s retirement from the UNB Faculty of Law, we are delighted to invite submissions for the upcoming colloquium on "Gender, (In)equalities, and the State," to be held on September 20, 2024 at UNB Law in Fredericton, New Brunswick. This colloquium will create space for exploring the relationships among law, gender, and the state, focusing on both the progress made towards gender equality and the persistent inequalities that are reproduced in and through law and other state structures. The colloquium will also honour Dr. Pearlston’s research in the related areas of gender, sexuality and law, legal history, and family law, as well as her activist work in the areas of reproductive justice and Queer organizing. We welcome contributions from scholars, activists, policymakers, and practitioners across disciplines including law, gender studies, sociology, political science, economics, and history. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: • The impact of state policies on gender equality and women's rights • Reproductive justice • 2SLGBTQIA+ histories, presents and futures • Gendered experiences of carcerality and other forms of state violence • Intersectionality and responding to multiple forms of discrimination • Indigenous land protection, sovereignty, and development • State responses to gender-based violence and harassment • Feminism, social movements, and law reform • Education as a site of gender exploration and contest We encourage submissions that offer innovative theoretical perspectives, empirical research, and case studies. While not necessary for participation, we welcome submissions that reflect on Dr. Pearlston’s research, teaching, and service. Selected papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of the University of New Brunswick Law Journal. Abstracts of up to 300 words, along with a brief biography (max 150 words), should be submitted to Greg.Bowley@unb.ca or Benjamin.Perryman@unb.ca by August 16, 2024. Notifications of acceptance will be sent by August 23, 2024. For more information, please contact Prof. Greg Bowley (Greg.Bowley@unb.ca) or Benjamin Perryman (Benjamin.Perryman@unb.ca).
