Untying the Knots: Theorizing Conflicts Between Gender Equality and Religious Laws (2008)
Developed by the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute Project on Gender, Culture, Religion and the Law (GCRL), this international conference brought together theorists, policymakers and activists to discuss ways of conceptualizing and engaging with gender and cultural/religious conflicts. Speakers discussed struggles in Canada, Israel, Senegal, South Africa, and the United States. The featured keynote speaker was Martha Minnow, the Jeremiah Smith, Jr. Professor of Law at Harvard Law School.
The conference was generously funded by gifts from the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Hadassah Endowment and the Dan Fischel and Sylvia Neil Philanthropic Fund.
The conference was also cosponsored by the Fanya Gottesfeld Heller Center for the Study of Women in Judaism at Bar Ilan University; the International Center for Ethics, Justice and Public Life; and the Schusterman Center for Israel Studies.
