VHC affiliated faculty member and director of the Feminism and Legal Theory Project, Professor Martha Albertson Fineman, has been awarded the Marie Curie Fellowship by the University College, Dublin's Egalitarian World Initiative (EWI). Professor Fineman will travel to Dublin in May for EWI's Transfer of Knowledge Programme conference. At the conference, Professor Fineman will discuss her work, including The Vulnerable Subject: Anchoring Equality in the Human Condition. After the conference, Professor Fineman will remain at UCD Dublin during May and June, sharing and expanding her work on vulnerability as a Marie Curie Fellow.
EWI is a university-wide initiative at UCD Dublin. It aims to create a body of research scholarship that will lead the world intellectually in devising a vision for a new, inclusive, egalitarian global order. Professor Fineman's fellowship is part of EWI' s 4-year Transfer of Knowledge Programme, funded by the EU Commission's Marie Currie Actions program. Past EWI Marie Curie Fellows include scholars from across the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States.
