Volume 12 Number 1 2000 Editorial
/ Éditorial The complexity of historically specific processes involved in the construction of legal subjects (for example, female juvenile delinquents (Sangster) is examined as is the relative capacity of feminist, dominant, and critical paradigms to capture and illuminate women’s complicated relationship to law. A second theme pursued in this issue is law’s complicity in the (re)production and perpetuation of systemic manifestations of inequality, including male violence against women (Sheehy) and racism (Duffy). A particular focus in this volume is on the ways that equality rights discourse (Pellatt), self-defense doctrine (Sheehy), and anti-discrimination and due process discourses (McIntyre) serve to frustrate transgressive feminist and anti-racist intervention. Finally, the structure and efficacy of compensation schemes and criminal regimes designed to redress the harms flowing from sexual harassment (Lippel and Demers), sexual abuse (Feldthusen, Hankivsky, and Greaves), and sexual assault (Ginn) are analyzed by several authors who place the direct experiences of women claimants at the centre of their investigations. We would also like you, our readers, to know of a few changes that have occurred on the Editorial Board of the Journal over the past months. Hester Lessard completed a three-year stint as English Language Co-Editor in August 1999. Hester had been both the backbone and connective tissue of the Journal since its move to the west coast, working continuously and tirelessly in the position while a series of UBC co-editors have rotated through. Margot Young, from the University of Victoria, has taken over from Hester as English Language Co-Editor. Josée Bouchard, long-time Journal supporter, has returned as French Language Co-Editor. Toni Williams has taken a hiatus from the Editorial Board after involvement with the Journal for many years. Radha Jhappan, who teaches in the Department of Political Science at Carleton University, has recently joined the board, and Susan B. Boyd and Claire Young, both at the University of British Columbia, have returned to the board after brief leaves for sabbaticals. We extend much thanks to those who have stepped down and welcome new and returning members. Articles
