In this episode of the Scarlet Letter, Becky and Kate travel to Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto to speak with Professor Sonia Lawrence. Professor Lawrence is the Director at the Institute for Feminist Legal Studies, as well as the Graduate Program Director at Osgoode. The discussion traverses a wide breadth of topics, including the need for both racial and gender diversity in law and academia, as well as the events that precipitated the founding of the Institute for Feminist Legal Studies.

In this episode of the Scarlet Letter, I interview Caroline Morgan, an SJD (Doctor of Juridical Science) candidate at Monash University whose research is focused on procedural fairness. We discuss the rules of procedural fairness as they arise from administrative law, and how procedural fairness impacts women and other marginalised groups.

In this episode of the Scarlet Letter, Janice Richardson is joined by Margrit Shildrick, Professor of Gender and Knowledge Production at Stockholm University. Professor Shildrick's work focuses on bioethics, microchimerism and prostheses, and the discussion in this episode centres around the feminist implications of these topics, and the roles that biology and sexual difference theory play in feminism.

In this episode of the Scarlet Letter, Tamara speaks with Jessica Lake, a lecturer at Swinburne University whose research interests include  the laws that exist to protect women's rights over their images. The wide ranging discussion moves from privacy rights in the United States, to the evolving issues surrounding women as the face and voice of robots, to Australia's revenge pornography laws.

In this episode, Becky Batagol speaks with the Honourable Marcia Neave AO, who is the only academic to be appointed to the Supreme Court in Victoria's history. The discussion is wide ranging, covering Marcia's introduction to feminism, her experience in the legal and academic worlds, and her work on the Royal Commission into Family Violence, among other things.

In this episode, Becky Batagol speaks with Professor Rosemary Hunter on a range of feminist topics, including her work on the Feminist Legal Judgments Project, how she was introduced to feminism, and what a feminist university would look like (hint: it would look excellent).

In this episode of the Scarlet Letter, Tamara and Ronli interview Monash Law graduate Alexandra Saltis, who is a project officer at the Victorian Assisted Reproductive Treatment Authority (VARTA). 

Alexandra talks to us about the role of VARTA, as well as the new legislative scheme that came into effect in 2017, which has impacts on donor anonymity. In addition, we discuss the surrogacy laws in Australia, and the links between feminism and reproductive law.

In this episode, Tamara speaks with Dr Richard Joyce about his work on sovereignty, his conception of feminist theory, both in a philosophical and a modern sense, and the practical implications that feminism has on his research.

In this episode, Becky and Tamara interview Stephanie O'Leary, who is in the final year of her law degree at Monash University. Stephanie has recently completed her honours thesis on the topic of social security and its relationship with family violence.

Stephanie takes us through her thesis topic, explaining financial abuse and its relationship with the cohabitation rule, and setting out some of the reforms she thinks would be useful in this area.

In this special episode of the Scarlet Letter, we present Part 2 of a seminar by Professor Rosemary Hunter of Queen Mary University in London.
