AHRC-funded project „Women Negotiating the Boundaries of Justice“, Swansea University; Emma Cavell (Web)

Time: 28.-29.06.2017
Venue: Swansea University
Proposals by: 21.01.2017

As part of the project „Women Negotiating the Boundaries of Justice,“ and in conjunction with Swansea University’s annual „Symposium by the Sea,“ the organizers are pleased to announce a two-day symposium on the female litigant in the medieval and early modern period (c.1100-c.1750). The intention is to bring scholars together in order to explore women’s access to legal redress and to shed new light on individuals’ lived experiences of the law. The organizers are seeking 25-minute papers from researchers (of all career-stages) working on any aspect of the history of women litigating in the courts across the known world during this broad timeframe. The organizers welcome work on all courts, regions, jurisdictions, ethnicities, languages and religious and confessional identities, and on any aspect of those histories or historiographies.
