Professor Jill Marshall will be presenting her research at the 7th Global Meeting on Law and Society. This will take place online and in-person in Lisbon, Portugal between 13th-16th July, 2022.
Professor Jill Marshall will discuss her research on gender-based violence and social conditions of transforming the landscape of such violence. This will be in a feminist collaborative setting of a roundtable conversation and discussion on the theme of the conference - Rage, Reckoning and Remedy – with a focus on Gender-Based Violence: Feminist responses and fault-lines. Her PhD student Isabella Da Re will also be presenting as part of the group.
This roundtable brings together a group of academics from a range of disciplines and at different points in their careers, to reflect upon the theme of the conference through the lens of gender-based violence (GBV). The presenters will examine feminist rage and reckonings as well as the ongoing failure of state and carceral systems to produce a remedy to GBV. This roundtable will develop discussions that have taken place in LEX - an international and interdisciplinary research network into Law, Gender and Sexuality. Reflecting upon the public and feminist rage following the cases of Sarah Everard, Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman, these discussions have explored feminist concerns regarding the failure of the State and criminal justice system to adequately respond to GBV. The roundtable will examine the limits of carceral responses, the reasons feminists continue to engage with them, and consider the possibilities of alternative and more socially just responses.
Other participants in the session are Dr Anna Carline (University of Liverpool), Victoria Holt (University of Roehampton), Dr Lynsey Mitchell (University of Strathclyde) and Dr Tanya Serisier (Birkbeck, University of London)
