Call for submissions: Feminist Jurisprudence Discussion Group Annual Workshop

The Feminist Jurisprudence Discussion Group (FJDG) is thrilled to invite submissions for its fifth interdisciplinary Annual Workshop held on Friday, 13th June 2025 at St Hilda’s College Oxford.  

Theme: Our theme this year is embodied and disembodied feminist realities. This workshop takes these two strands and holds them in parallel to weave a picture of modern and emergent feminist jurisprudence. Embodiment has been and remains a central concern of feminist legal theory and research. This concern remains valid in the present day with feminist jurisprudence, feminist legal academics and feminist lawyers engaging with matters such as women’s and reproductive health, obstetric violence law, violence against women, women in climate change, and gender and sport. Equally in the modern world ‘disembodied’ issues demand the attention of feminist legal thought. Such issues include the regulation of deepfakes, AI, and structural and political issues. 

Submissions: We welcome submissions from post-graduate students, PhD candidates and early career researchers on any topic they feel fits within these themes.  Presenters are encouraged to submit abstracts for 10 minute presentations. We welcome work in progress or entirely new ideas for discussion, and encourage submissions from all disciplines. Each session will provide ample opportunities for meaningful dialogue, exchanges of ideas and potential collaborations. The workshop is in person only and we unfortunately cannot provide funding for travel. However, we will provide breakfast, lunch and tea and coffee for presenters and participants. 

Please complete this form by 28 March 2025. 

Venue: St Hilda’s College, University of Oxford (in person only, refreshments provided) 
Date: Friday, 13th June 2025
