Please join the Columbia Journal of Gender and Law for our 2018 symposium, Climate Change and Gender Justice, on Friday, March 2, at 9:00am in JG 105.
This symposium presents scholarship examining the intersection of climate change and gender-based disparities. The selected scholarship considers the impact of climate change on child marriage, public health, economic mobility, and domestic abuse. By shining a light on the ways in which climate climate change exacerbates inequality, this symposium supports a proactive, inclusive approach to climate change and gender justice.
Featured scholarship includes:
Raping Indian Country, Profs. Sarah Deer and Elizabeth Ann Kronk;
Examining the Relationship Between Climate Change and Child Marriage: Case Studies from Bangladesh and Mozambique, Heather Barr, Katharina Rall, and Christie McLeod; and
