This course explores legal issues regarding sexuality and gender in a cross-doctrinal and inter-disciplinary context. The course introduces students to legal scholarship that takes a feminist perspective and considers the multitude of ways in which law constructs and regulates individuals and families by reference to their gender and sexuality. In doing so we traverse and re-traverse various legal doctrinal areas, such as criminal law, international law, family law, anti-discrimination law and so on, but our focus is not on the legal rules as such. Rather, the purpose of the course is to provide a solid theoretical foundation that will enable you to understand links between various legal doctrines and practices that have contributed to inequality.
