Women Talking: New Frontiers in Feminist Dispute Resolution

Join us for a thought-provoking evening as Lincoln Alexander Law Professor Jennifer Orange and law student Sabrina Khela engage Miriam Toews and Sarah Polley in a conversation about how the women and girls of Women Talking navigate and resolve conflicts arising from their experiences of sexual violence.

In their newly published groundbreaking article, Women Talking: An Alchemy for Feminist Alternative Dispute Resolution (external link) , Orange and Khela draw from Toews’ powerful novel and Polley’s Academy Award-winning film adaptation to introduce a fresh, feminist-centred framework for alternative dispute resolution (ADR).

This event is being hosted in collaboration with TIFF with generous support from Babin Bessner Spry LLP and Torys LLP.
