Background
The project was developed to improve access and enable conversation with female scholars from around the world in areas where such conversations are still lacking. Analytic philosophy and legal theory are areas of research particularly affected by the lack of gender diversity.
There is an apparent lack of visibility of both early careers and advanced level female scholars outside of the well-established circles of feminist legal theory. Such an environment may deter aspiring female academics from entering the field. The project aims to address this gap by providing a platform for female researchers and their work in a series of recorded, informal conversations.
