MARKING 5 YEARS OF REPEAL: INTERNATIONAL ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION ENTITLED ‘REPRODUCING LAW OTHERWISE?’

Marking the 5th anniversary of Repeal of the 8th Amendment Dr Catherine Conlon’s HEA North-South Research Project ReproCit at School of Social Work and Social Policy, TCD and The Centre for Law and Society in a Global Context at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) are hosting two thought-provoking virtual roundtable discussions titled "Reproducing Law Otherwise? New Directions in Abortion Law and Reproductive Justice after #Dobbs, #Repealedthe8th, #Decrim #AbortoLegal and more." The TCD event will take place on May 22, 2023, between 12- 2 p.m. (online) and the QMUL Hybrid event will take place in person and online at 6-8pm.  The Roundtables will feature roundtable discussions with legal experts, researchers, and activists. The discussions will focus on the challenges and creativities of our reproductive times, including the struggle for reproductive justice in abortion law and beyond. They seek to share and expand that space by talking about how public legal education - including university classrooms, law clinics, social justice lawyering, and community organising could best respond. The event is being organized by Ruth Fletcher, Leverhulme Research Fellow, QMUL Centre for Law and Society in a Global Context; Catherine Conlon, Reproductive Citizenship Project, School of Social Work and Social Policy, Trinity College Dublin; Matt Evans and Gbemisola Obolo, QMUL Legal Advice Centre.  All are welcome to attend this important event.
