The Interdisciplinary Histories Research Cluster is pleased to provide support as matching funds for a SSHRC Connection grant application for the following conference:

Interactions, Exchanges, and Transformations: European Legal Traditions and their impact on the Construction of Gender in a Global Context 

UBC, West Point Grey, Vancouver

21 to 23 October 2021
This conference will explore the interactions between varied European legal cultures and their global impact. Such interactions can be seen within Europe itself as various legal traditions interacted, influenced, and displaced each other, but can also be discerned beyond Europe, as these legal cultures were exported around the world. It represents the first meeting outside of Europe of the Gender Differences in European Legal Cultures international research network. This network is the premier European academic organization dedicated to fostering research and knowledge exchange on the histories of law and gender across European cultures and traditions. Founded in 2000, it brings together scholars from around the world researching the historical trajectories and imbrications of gender and law across European legal systems, from the ancient to the contemporary world.
This international conference was organized jointly by professors from the University of British Columbia (John Christopoulos and Katherine Huemoller), Simon Fraser University (Evdoxios Doxiades), and the University of Northern British Columbia (Dana Wessell-Lightfoot), and will bring together approximately fifty international speakers, including senior and junior scholars and graduate students.
