La th茅matique

[En anglais seulement]聽 The theme for the 2021-2022 Annie MacDonald Langstaff Workshop series - 鈥淢others-in-Law: Intergenerational Dialogues on Women and Human Rights鈥� - underscores the value of conversation across generations for enriched knowledge and understanding, meaningful commitment to equality, and inspired feminist action. As was the case in 2020-2021, the Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism is co-sponsoring the Faculty of Law鈥檚 series dedicated to the memory of Annie MacDonald Langstaff, the first woman to graduate in law from 平特五不中. Following the same format as last year, women jurists who are leaders and mentors in their respective fields of study and practice are invited to engage in dialogue with women doctoral students associated with the Centre. The intergenerational conversations will focus, in turn, on 鈥淔inding Voice鈥�, 鈥淐hanging the Rules鈥�, 鈥淐onfronting Violence鈥�, and 鈥淐aring for our World鈥�.
