University of Georgia School of Law Professor Diane Marie Amann participated last week in “How to Write Feminist Histories of International Law,” the first in a seven-session online seminar series entitled “Thinking Gender, History & International Law” hosted by the University of Warwick School of Law in Coventry, England.

Also joining in the conversation were: Professor Maria Drakopoulou, University of Kent Law School; Professor Gina Heathcote, Newcastle University Law School; Professor Aoife O’Donoghue, Queen’s University Belfast School of Law; and the seminar’s organizers, Dr. Paola Zichi and Dr. Aisel Omarova, both at Warwick Law.

Topics discussed included: what it means to apply feminist approaches to the history of international law; whether and how feminist viewpoints may enhance the writing of history; and what are the relations among feminist values, historical research, and theory or philosophy. (Register for future seminar sessions here.)

Amann, who has several publications broaching such issues, is Regents’ Professor of International Law, Emily & Ernest Woodruff Chair in International Law, and a Faculty Co-Director of our Dean Rusk International Law Center here at Georgia Law. This fall, she is spending a research-intensive semester in the United Kingdom, where she is a Research Visitor at the Oxford Faculty of Law Bonavero Institute of Human Rights and Visiting Fellow at Exeter College Oxford.
