03-04 December 2026 | University of Verona
Abstract’s deadline: 15 July 2026
The conference, organized by the Arendt Center of the University of Verona as part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Project “Rewriting Rights” – explores the double sense in which feminist justice is “on trial” today: in courtrooms, where the performance and performativity of legal proceedings expose the structural limits of institutional justice, and in the broader public sphere, where dominant narratives continue to normalize gender-based violence. It aims to bring feminist philosophy and critical theory into dialogue with socio-legal perspectives, asking what more transformative forms of justice might look like.
Keynote speakers: Leigh Gilmore (The Ohio State University) and Anália Torres (University of Lisbon)
In addition to the keynote lectures, the conference will include a workshop dedicated to Women’s Courts and feminist Tribunals on Crimes against Women, bringing together scholars and practitioners working on gender violence and alternative forms of justice.
