About The Collective of Women in Legal Philosophy
The Collective: Women in Legal Philosophy is an inclusive and supportive platform for the exchange of knowledge and the fostering of imaginative ideas and critical thinking in legal philosophy. It aims to create the best possible intellectual environment for the flourishing of women's scholarship in legal theory and the philosophy of law through conferences, work-in-progress seminars, and a mentoring system.
Our mission is to promote and support women in legal philosophy and legal theory, broadly defined, by providing a means by which women involved in legal philosophy using methods broadly construed as analytic can meet, virtually and in person, to work out new arguments and exchange ideas. To this end, our aim is to provide a work-in-progress online session every six months, an annual in-person conference hosted in venues alternating between North America and the United Kingdom, and a mentoring network for students and junior faculty that will address the full range of women's career interests and concerns in the field.
