Is there a feminist theory of the ethics of using jus ad vim (limited force)? According to @drlauraesq.bsky.social and @kariahartung.bsky.social, 'there is not, and cannot be, a feminist jus ad vim.' Read their #openaccess article in our latest special section: doi.org/10.1093/ia/iiag118

An academic in our department gave a "trans-sceptical" talk on campus today. We have written an open letter to the Principal and University Secretary expressing our opposition to transphobia on our campus - we hope others in the RHUL community will sign: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Open letter to Julie Saunders, Vice Chancellor and Principal and Andrew Boggs, University Secretary, about the hosting of a talk on "Trans-scepticism"

Please note: Dr Gascoigne is an active member of teaching staff. We have therefore allowed the option for anonymous signatures. We would encourage initials for those who are comfortable, or otherwise ...

Some PhD joy from last week, when after 3+ years of campaigning, we got to inaugurate the new PhD office at @rhulpir.bsky.social. We have windows!!!! The whole school of Law and Social Sciences came together (the pizza helped) and this blue plaque was put on the wall. PGR solidarity forever ✊🏼

A few shots of our PhD students in action at the Gender Institute and HARI lightning talks yesterday. They were joined by MRes student Josephine Carr and Dr Lyn Johnstone from our department as well as fantastic scholars from across the college. A great start to the term!
