Women in Constitutions – Podcast Series

by | Oct 16, 2024

Virtually all constitutions guarantee women’s right to equality, yet, there is a rise in backlash against legal, political, economic, social and cultural efforts to achieve women’s equality.

This podcast series speaks with leading legal scholars from the US, Canada, South Africa and India to explore how constitutions can frustrate efforts to achieve women’s equality, and to imagine a new constitutionalism that places women as equal actors and participants in the constitutional project.

Dr Meghan Campbell is joined by four exceptional women in law – Professor Julie Suk from Fordham University; Dr. Aparna Chandra, an Associate Professor of Law at the National Law School of India University; Professor Jennifer Koshan, from the University of Calgary; and Judge Dhaya Pillay of the High Court in Pietermaritzburg and Durban to discuss women in the US, India, Canada and South Africa’s Constitution.
