Feminist research on law and justice
The Australian Feminist Law Journal publishes scholarship on feminist approaches to law and justice, broadly conceived. Founded in 1993, the Australian Feminist Law Journal has been an important intellectual home for feminist legal scholarship from Australia, the Asia Pacific, and beyond. The Journal welcomes high-quality submissions informed by diverse critical and feminist legal traditions, including (but not limited to): cultural and literary, Indigenous, post/de-colonial, critical race, Marxist, queer, psychoanalytic, political economy, post-structuralist, and socio-legal approaches. The Journal particularly encourages research that takes a diverse and intersectional approach to feminism by drawing on the experiences and perspectives of people and communities who are Indigenous, culturally and linguistically diverse, of colour, faith-based, differently-abled, LGBTIQA+ and/or from the Global South."

Law's Changing Bodies: Contemporary and Historical Perspectives on Law and Embodiment

Feminist scholars and theorists have long engaged with the body and questioned its relation to law. This special issue continues this legacy, while also drawing on and contributing to more recent scholarly interest in embodiment, gender and law.
