Standing in the Gaps: Challenging the Entitlement of the Powerful
This conference is dedicated to the life and work of Karen Leander who was a tireless campaigner on the rights of women and who fought against the entitlement of patriarchy and oppressive state power.
The conference provides an opportunity to challenge the assumptions of ‘entitlement’, whether it be entitlement born of gender, ethnicity, class, of political access, of economic resources, to funding, or of sexual freedom.
The European Group continues to develop a critical, emancipatory and innovative criminology, to provide a forum for and recognition of challenging research, study and activism.

Nahella Ashraf – Chair of Greater Manchester Stop the War Coalition
