Allgemein, , , , , ,

Soeben ist das von Thomas Giegerich mitherausgegebene und teilweise mitverfasste Lehrbuch „Gender-Competent Legal Education“ beim Springer-Verlag in der Serie „Springer Textbooks in Law“ erschienen. Es handelt sich um das erste Lehrbuch seiner Art, das in 19 Kapiteln auf über 700 Seiten alle wichtigen Rechtsgebiete aus einer Gender-Perspektive neu betrachtet. Vorgeblendet ist ihm ein Allgemeiner Teil zur vergleichenden Rechtsgeschichte, zur feministischen politischen Theorie und Rechtstheorie, zur Rechtssoziologie, zu feminist judgments sowie zu gender research and feminist methodologies.

Das Lehrbuch soll weltweit ein gender mainstreaming in der juristischen Ausbildung unterstützen, die bislang in erster Linie „malestreamed“ gewesen ist. Die Autorinnen und Autoren mit rechts- und sozialwissenschaftlichem Hintergrund forschen und lehren an der Universität Belgrad (Serbien), der Universität Cadiz (Spanien), der LUMSA-Universität in Palermo (Italien), der Universität Örebro (Schweden) sowie der Universität des Saarlandes (Deutschland). Das Lehrbuch ist ein wichtiges Ergebnis des 2019 begonnenen gemeinsamen Erasmus+ Projekts unter dem Namen New Quality in Education for Gender Equality – Strategic Partnership for the Development of Master’s Study Program “Law and Gender” – LAWGEM.

Neben der käuflich zu erwerbenden gebundenen Ausgabe des Lehrbuchs (ISBN 978-3-031-14359-5) gibt es eine weltweit frei abrufbare Online-Version unter https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-14360-1?page=1#toc.

The textbook “Gender-Competent Legal Education”, co-edited and partly co-authored by Thomas Giegerich, has just been published by Springer Publishers in the series “Springer Textbooks in Law”. It is the first textbook of its kind to take a fresh look at all important areas of law from a gender perspective in 19 chapters on over 700 pages. It is preceded by a general part on comparative legal history, feminist political theory and legal theory, sociology of law, feminist judgments and gender research and feminist methodologies.

The textbook is intended to support gender mainstreaming in legal education worldwide, which has so far been primarily “malestreamed”. The authors, who have backgrounds in law and social sciences, research and teach at the University of Belgrade (Serbia), the University of Cadiz (Spain), LUMSA University in Palermo (Italy), Örebro University (Sweden) and Saarland University (Germany). The textbook is an important intellectual output of a joint Erasmus+ project launched in 2019 under the name New Quality in Education for Gender Equality – Strategic Partnership for the Development of Master’s Study Program “Law and Gender” – LAWGEM.

In addition to the hardback edition of the textbook (ISBN 978-3-031-14359-5), which is available for purchase, there also is an online version that is freely accessible worldwide at https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-14360-1?page=1#toc.

Symposium: Gender Equality and Gender Quotas for Political Participation in Europe

Allgemein, , , , , ,

We are proud to present our first online symposium on „Gender Equality and Gender Quotas for Political Participation in Europe“. The contributions are based on presentations given during an online conference held in April on „New Quality in Education for Gender Equality“. The conference took place within the framework of the „Law and Gender – LAWGEM“ project. More information about that project can be found here.

An introduction to the topic written by Univ.-Prof. Dr. Thomas Giegerich is now available here.

At the end of March 2019, the Jean Monnet Chair for European Integration, Antidiscrimination, Human Rights and Diversity organised an international and interdisciplinary conference at the European Academy in Otzenhausen on “The European Union as Protector and Promoter of Equality” which was co-funded by the German Research Association (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft). A detailed conference report has just been published as a Saar Expert Paper and can be accessed here. The papers that were presented will be published in a conference volume in early 2020.
