About NLUO
National Law University Odisha (“NLU Odisha”) was established in the year 2008 by the Odisha government with a vision to develop as a Centre of Excellence in Legal Education, to emerge as a place of professional learning, and to further nurture the idea of “serviceability” to the people to carry forward the social justice mission of legal education.
In furtherance of the same, the Legal Aid Society of NLU Odisha was established in the year 2012 with a mission to implement the mandate of the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987.
About the Centre
The Centre for Women & Law (CWL) is a Research Centre of National Law University Odisha which works with the combined effort of faculty members and students of NLUO. The Centre was established with a view of having a platform for the unremitting study of the structural, societal, legal and regulatory issues associated with gender from a multi-disciplinary perspective.
About the Course
The course will provide an overview of the intersection between law and gender in the American context, with comparisons to international law as relevant. It will cover the theoretical concepts feminist and other gender justice scholars have used to understand the implications of gender on people’s lives and explore how these theories help us to have a deeper understanding of the ways gender and the law work together to structure inequality into societal institutions.
It will explore the impact of that inequality on individuals and groups of people in society with an emphasis on the role of organizing within oppressed gender groups to restructure law as it relates to gender to achieve equality. It will culminate with a look towards the future by re-imagining what an inclusive and gender equal system of laws might look like and how we might achieve it.
