UHLC Welcomes Martha Fineman

On March 28,
2022, UHLC & Events
welcomed Martha
Fineman, the Robert
W. Woodruff
Professor of Law (continued)
at Emory Law
School. Professor
Fineman joined
us virtually as part Professor Martha Fineman, Emory Law School
of the UHLC Colloquium Speaker Series. In her talk, she discussed her
essay A Feminist Sense of Social Justice. In it, she explores the origin of the term “social justice” and its
incompatibility with the current dominant approaches to human rights and liberalism, which focus
on the dominance of individualism and its associated principles of autonomy, independence, and
individual responsibility. Fineman presents an early strain of feminist legal theory that provides a more
comprehensive and inclusive dimension of justice as social and structural.
