Abstract
On November 20, 2014, Professor Joanne Conaghan and Dr. Yvette Russell met at the University of Bristol Law School (UK) to discuss Conaghan’s most recent book Law and Gender (2013, Oxford University Press). This paper is an edited transcript of their discussion, the question and answer session with the audience that followed, and includes Conaghan’s reflections on her long and varied career as a feminist legal scholar. The discussion was chaired by Dr. Devyani Prabhat and organised as part of Bristol Law School’s Women in Law seminar series.
