The Centre for Women, Law, and Social Change at Jindal Global Law School is hosting a conference titled "Feminisms of Discontent: Global Contestations" this weekend in Delhi.

Feminist Theory in India, including Feminist Legal Theory, draws from many sources, including postcolonial theory, critical legal theory, and other perspectives from the so=called ‘developing world’. As such, there exists a profound opportunity for a conference to explore the tensions and commonalities among Feminisms across a range of geographical and disciplinary divides and theoretical perspectives. The Feminisms of Discontent Conference seeks to facilitate a dialogue in this space.

The Conference is being held by the Centre for Women, Law, and Social Change (CWLSC) of Jindal Global Law School (JGLS) in Haryana, India. The CWLSC was established in furtherance of JGLS’s commitment to furthering studies related to gender=related rights and theory in legal academia in India. The CWLSC seeks to provide an institutional framework to promote collaborative research projects with Indian and foreign partners addressing cutting edge gender issues from an interdisciplinary and inter=jurisdictional perspective. The CWLSC is holding the Conference in continuance of this goal.
