IP/Gender: Mapping the Connections (Fifth Annual)
Venue: American University Washington College of Law
Location: Washington, Washington DC, United States
Event Date/Time: Apr 04, 2008 |
Description
The following year, we built on the discussions from that first workshop by holding a public program highlighting the work of two scholars writing in this emerging area, Ann Bartow and Sonia Katyal. These two scholars published their work in the American University Journal of Gender, Social Policy, and the Law, which has remained a steady partner of the symposium in the years since.
In 2006 and 2007, the symposium expanded into full-day workshops with multiple presentations by scholars applying feminist theory insights to the full range of intellectual property doctrines and policies. Scholars have used the forum to develop ideas on the impact on intellectual property on gender-related imbalances in wealth, cultural access, political power, and social control; to explore relations between creative production and gender; to analyze the effects of stereotyping and feminization and masculinization of intellectual property stakeholders; to uncover the gendered development of IP doctrines and doctrinal categories; and to apply feminist jurisprudential insights to the teaching and practicing of intellectual property law.
This year, the IP/Gender: Mapping the Connections Symposium will be our grandest yet, featuring fifteen presenters or commenters from two continents, open to the public and webcast live on www.pijip.org. We look forward to joining you there.
