Marlee Kline Lecture in Social Justice

Description of Event

The Centre for Feminist Legal Studies invites Adelle Blackett as this year's speaker for the Marlee Kline Lecture in Social Justice. This lecture honours the memory of Marlee Gayle Kline, a member of the Faculty from 1989. Professor Kline died in 2001 after a lengthy and determined struggle with leukemia. Her work on feminist legal theory and critical race theory, child welfare law and policy, law's continued colonialism, and restructuring of the social welfare state is internationally acclaimed. This lectureship not only recognizes Marlee's rich contribution to the law school community but also reflects her belief in the central role social justice concerns must play in legal education and law.
