Intersectional legal academy: Afterword to the Foreword by Gráinne de Búrca, Rosalind Dixon and Marcela Prieto Rudolphy.

The article focuses on the necessity of an intersectional feminist legal academy to effectively advance gender equality and challenge existing inequalities within legal academia. It argues that intersectionality—understood as the interconnectedness of gender with race, class, age, disability, sexuality, and other social categories—is essential both normatively and practically for a feminist legal academy. This approach excludes non-intersectional feminisms, such as those that equate gender solely with biological sex, but aims to represent and transform the conditions of all marginalized groups. The acceptance and implementation of an intersectional legal academy vary by context, with some non-Western settings potentially more receptive due to their broader understandings of identity and oppression. Ultimately, the article presents intersectionality as both an epistemic commitment and a valuable framework for inclusive feminist scholarship and practice in legal academia.
