Enhancing the visibility of feminist legal studies, research, teaching and graduate work at UBC.
The Centre for Feminist Legal Studies (CFLS) was established at the Faculty of Law, now the Peter A. Allard School of Law, at the University of British Columbia in 1997.
Its purpose is to enhance the visibility of feminist legal studies at UBC and to strengthen co-operation in research, teaching, and graduate student supervision between scholars working with the Allard School of Law and elsewhere at UBC, as well as links and collaborations between scholars working in different university and community settings in British Columbia , nationally and internationally.
The Centre offers meeting space, resources, and networking opportunities to scholars and students at UBC; attracts graduate students and visiting scholars; obtains funding support for activities related to feminism and law; and enhances links between the Allard School of Law, community groups interested in feminist legal studies, and the wider community in British Columbia.
