Feminist approaches to global constitutionalism

Chapter 14 in Handbook on Global Constitutionalism, 2023, pp 185-206 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Reflecting on current feminist work in comparative constitutional scholarship and international law, this chapter explores ways of doing feminist global constitutionalism. This chapter highlights the emerging epistemological turn in feminist global constitutionalism that is concerned with interrogating the sources and methods used in global constitutionalism. Part of the epistemological turn is the utilisation of conversations as a methodology. This chapter draws on feminist discussions of conversations, listening and silences to outline seven features that should guide feminist global constitutionalist conversations. These feminist global constitutional conversations must be ongoing and without a fixed end-point, facilitate discussion across feminisms, be global and inter-generational so as to reflect on the past and offer feminist futures, centre responsible listening, be alert to the uses and abuses of silences, and be open to other theories and disciplines as part of an ongoing process of (un)learning.
