Over at the ContractsProfBlog, Jeremy Telman has a very generous review of a recent episode of the Taboo Trades podcast, on “Exploitation Creep: Feminism, Sex, and Reproduction in International Law.”
Says Jeremy, after briefly summarizing each guest’s expertise and arguments:
I highly recommend the podcast. Have a listen, but prepare to have your mind repeatedly blown.
I can’t do justice to the scholarship that Professor Krawiec’s guests summarize on the pod, but I will try to summarize how the conversation starts. I hope that will whet your appetite to listen to the entire episode and perhaps follow up on the scholarship featured in the show notes. There is ample material here for a seminar or to get a student started on a note topic. The focus is on the sweeping use of “exploitation” to regulate conduct while not being clear on what constitutes exploitation. . . .
Those introductions get the ball rolling, and the conversation runs from there and still I feel like we have only scratched the surface of the legal challenges that these scholars have brought together under the theme of “exploitation creep.” It’s a great discussion. Each panelist brought a different and challenging perspective. These sorts of conversations can really inspire law students or young practitioners looking for work that is fulfilling and also feels meaningful, so I recommend this highly and recommend sharing it with students interested in work at the intersection of contracts, international law, gender identity/women’s rights.
