'In order for human rights ideas to be effective... they need to be translated into local terms and situated within local contexts of power and meaning...' (Sally Engle Merry, Human Rights and Gender Violence: Translating International Law into Local Justice, Chicago: University of Chicago Press 2006, 1)

In this workshop for ANU Doctoral Scholars and Early Career Researchers, short presentations were given by twelve ANU doctoral scholars and early career researchers in conversation with Professors Sally Engle Merry, Hilary Charlesworth and Margaret Jolly.

The event was co-sponsored by ANU Gender Institute, RegNet and Anthropology (ANU College of Asia & the Pacific) and funded by the College of Asia & the Pacific. Observers were welcome and refreshments were provided.
