Incorporating Issues of Race, Gender, Class, Sexual Orientation, and Disability into Law School Teaching |

I think the lessons I have learned are greater than blackletter law principles. As far as those go, I am not sure that I learned anything new.

International Human Rights Law, Feminist Jurisprudence, and Nietzsche's "Eternal Return": Turning the Wheel |

Much of the important feminist scholarship on international human rights law has been deconstructive; that is, feminists have taken apart international human rights law to show how it neglects and marginalizes women, how it does not do enough for them, and how it may even perpetuate their subordination. Less has been written about its potential...; Search Snippet: ...Harvard Women's Law Journal Spring, 1996 International Human Rights Law, Feminist Jurisprudence, and Nietzsche's Eternal Return: Turning the Wheel Barbara Stark... |
