(POL1) Global Perspectives on Law, Gender, and Power in Contemporary Times
Session | In-person Session | Criminology and Law, Gender and Sexuality
This session explores global perspectives on law, gender, and power in contemporary times with a focus on how gender-based inequalities and injustices are constructed, maintained, and/or reinforced legally. Specifically, the papers engage with empirical research and theorizing on gender, law and legal practices/institutions in different parts of the world, including Canada, Brazil, and Turkey. The primary issues and debates that the presentations focus on center around law and gender, and include legal responses to domestic and sexual violence, gender-based violence and discrimination against 2SLGBTQ+ individuals as well as the politics of violence against women and law reform, and gendered political conflicts.
Organizer: Tuğçe Ellialtı-Köse, University of Guelph
(PSM1) Opportunity Structures and their Consequences for Movements
Session | In-person Session | Political Sociology and Social Movements
All social movement groups, organizations, and individual participants operate within structures of opportunities and constraints. Opportunities and constraints may relate to available financial resources, technologies, civic and legal space, and social support, among other factors. The degree to which these types of opportunities and/or constraints are present or absent and what form they take, significantly shape social movement participation, identity-building, organizational forms, and tactics. This panel will offer a set of diverse international and Canadian case studies that examine how resources, technologies, civic and legal space, and social support provide opportunities and constraints that structure social movements.
