Beyond International Human Rights: Islamic Feminism as Alternative Rights Praxis - Feminist Legal Studies

This article examines Islamic Feminism (IF) as an example of an alternative rights framework that falls beyond international human rights law (IHRL) in terms of its epistemic and conceptual grounding ...

Academia can feel very pointless during israel's genocide on Palestine and yet another US-backed imperialist onslaught on Iran – but reading the words of others is a reminder that each of us are not alone. And as Nora reminds us, hopefully we are in the "before of the revolution"

“At a time when those of us who are most precariously positioned are being most aggressively targeted, our work must be informed by care, by collectivity, & by deep political clarity.” Beautiful writing by @norajaber.bsky.social & @leilaullrich.bsky.social on resisting violence in academic spaces.

“This moment necessitates that we trace & map the linkages between the various forms of oppression & harm we witness, locate their manifestations in the spaces we move in, & draw on these lessons to fight back.” @norajaber.bsky.social & @leilaullrich.bsky.social reflect on being feminist fugitives.

Absolute masterclass in keynote delivery by @norajaber.bsky.social this morning ““On the Juridification of Justice” as part of Edinburgh Postgraduate Law Conference 2025 👏🏻

Looking forward to delivering a keynote lecture, titled ‘On the Juridification of Justice’ at this week’s Edinburgh Postgraduate Law Conference at @uoelawschool.bsky.social. More here: www.law.ed.ac.uk/community/st...

We sometimes talk about how “good” or “helpful” migrants are when responding to racist politics. These sentiments might be well meaning but they just feed the idea that our worth as people is conditional on our usefulness. But we shouldn’t need to be hardworking or successful to be free from racism.

Great workshop on 'The Juridification of Justice' @lauterpachtcentre.bsky.social (@torkrever.bsky.social & @norajaber.bsky.social). I argued that our concern should not be the degree to which justice becomes 'juridified', but which 'jus' –which understanding of law– guides our visions of justice.

In Cambridge, in my way to the spectacular conference by @norajaber.bsky.social and @torkrever.bsky.social on the juridification of justice … but I might stop for a picnic first. www.lcil.cam.ac.uk/press/events...

Today’s topic for my course ‘Law and Power in the Muslim World’ is on the coloniality of international law. I hope that one day this subject becomes outdated - a thing of a darker past. Today colonialism is alive and well and law’s entanglements with it are blatant.

'These are the type of politics you’d expect of the British empire in the 19th century,' says Eyal Weizman on Trump’s colonial plans for Gaza. 'To simply erase Gaza and turn it into a riviera is a way to continue the work of destruction by construction': www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...
