Locating Feminist Scholars and Scholarship in the Legal Academy

In this chapter I engage with Rosemary Auchmuty’s argument that feminist legal scholars have come to play a valuable – and indeed central – role in the legal academy, as teachers, researchers and managers. This argument can be found in particular in three of Rosemary’s publications: ‘Feminists as Stakeholders in the Law School’, ‘Using Feminist Judgments in the Property Law Classroom’, and ‘The Road to Olive Stone’. The chapter first sets out Rosemary’s view on the value of feminist scholars to the legal academy and then engages with her argument in light of the literature on feminism in the neoliberal university.
