The Feminism and Legal Theory Project (FLT Project) is a project is to provide a forum for interdisciplinary feminist scholarship aimed at addressing issues relating to women and law. The project addresses the intersection of gender with issues relating to race, class, ability, and sexuality. The project nurtures scholars from around the world, bringing them together to study and debate a wide range of topics related to feminist theory and law.
The FLT Project assists beginning feminist scholars by providing multiple opportunities to present papers at academic conferences and for publication in one of the anthologies which are periodically collected from work presented at FLT Project workshops. The project has resulted in the publication of several books on feminist legal theory.
