The Centre for Feminist Legal Studies (CFLS) has provided an important space for students, scholars and the wider feminist legal community to come together, build networks, collaborate on research and exchange ideas. The work of the CFLS has been significant in ensuring that feminist and social justice issues remain visible at UBC Law. This is achieved through a Mentorship Programme, the newsletter LawFemme , the resource library, the Marlee Kline Essay Prize, the annual book launch, visiting scholars (most recently from China and South Korea), collaborative research projects (e.g. Poverty & Human Rights), and workshops. The Centre facilitates student involvement and exposure to a variety of feminist legal issues, and thus enhances the overall UBC law experience. In summary, the CFLS operates as an invaluable component to the diversity of the UBC Faculty of Law experience, and looks forward to continued growth and success. |
