This course explores historical and contemporary relationships between women and the Canadian legal system. The course uses feminist legal theory to explore the evolution of areas of Canadian law of particular interest to women (for example: reproduction, abortion, family law, rape laws, criminal law) and political activism around the law and women's issues. Prerequisites: One of AUCRI 353, AUPOL 353 (2020), 355 or AUIDS 230. Notes: Credit may be obtained for only one of AUCRI 453 and AUPOL 453 (2020).
