Last month, @eucourtofjustice.bsky.social issued its judgment on the Danish 'Ghetto' Law (C-417/23). Given the paucity of preliminary reference rulings about the Race Equality Directive, this judgment warrants some unpacking. Join us to discuss the 'Ghetto Housing' judgment tomorrow: bit.ly/4qcbvnX

My article titled 'A Typology of Comparators and Comparisons in EU Equality Law' published in the Common Market Law Review received the honourable mention award of this year's Ius Commune Prize from the Ius Commune Research School.

At @eui-law.bsky.social, @gatybiyo.bsky.social explores how Western notions of private property often clash with Indigenous understandings of land, often reproducing colonial patterns of control.🌳 🔗 https://loom.ly/SepE78M

Building on Iyiola Solanke’s EUI Black History Month Lecture that highlights the need to decolonise EU law, I argue in this WP that uncovering the allegiance between EU law, coloniality & Whiteness must be at the heart of any social justice enterprise to decolonise EU law: hdl.handle.net/1814/93725

In I.C. t Moldavië oordeelde het EHRM dat de arbeidsuitbuiting & seksueel misbruik van een vrouw met een intellectuele handicap discriminatoir was. In deze annotatie neem ik de manier waarop het EHRM deze intersectionele discriminatie benaderde onder de loep: #intersectionaliteit bit.ly/4qBGCtQ

138 juristen waarschuwen Vlaamse regering: beroep tegen vonnis wapendoorvoer Israël ‘ronduit onverantwoord’

I am genuinely happy to share that my first big publication is now available online! "'Forced' Refugees versus 'Voluntary' Migrants" is the result of two years of research, writing, reflection, discussion, rethinking. Now I can't wait to debate it!

Last week, I had the opportunity to attend and present my work on models of judicial review in equality jurisprudence at the EuConst Symposium. I am grateful to the other participants and discussants, in particular Prof. Silvia Suteu, for their insightful feedback and comments.

Happy to see this piece published on @verfassungsblog.de! Together with Narin Nosrati we felt the need to reflect about the way we, as European legal scholars, interpreted the evolution of the CJEU's position in some gender-based asylum cases from last year. verfassungsblog.de/ecj-western-...

My working paper on the Danish public housing law case is out! In response to these colonial style compulsory rehousing rules will the CJEU define a 'racial group',? www.coleurope.eu/sites/defaul...

I recently presented my paper "A Typology of Comparators and Comparisons in EU Equality Law" at the Academy of European Law (ERA) Seminar on Current Reflections on EU Anti-Discrimination Law in Madrid. You can read the paper my presentation is based on here: kluwerlawonline.com/JournalArtic...

Pleased to share my new article! I reflect on what our responsibility is, as legal academics, to students experiencing racism and how we can surface the ways racism plays out "politely" such that the law school feels like a space to which they cannot fully belong. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Op 16 mei vond de boeklancering van 'Feministische en queer onderzoeksmethoden in het recht' plaats. Marie Spinoy, Elise Goossens, & Pieter Cannoot brachten auteurs samen om over de bijzondere methodologische uitdagingen bij de toepassing van feministische & queer onderzoeksmethoden te schrijven.

“There are places in this world where law protects you like a second skin. It walks with you into offices, hospitals, airports, schools, police stations &c. &c. It makes people speak gently to you. It ensures that your name is recorded properly….” @davidyambio.bsky.social

(Hoe) Moet het Nederlandse non-discriminatierecht emergente discriminatiegronden erkennen? Welke plaats moet intersectionaliteit krijgen in het wettelijk kader en de rechtspraktijk? Jennifer Alspeer & ik schrijven, op vraag van de Staatscommissie tegen Discriminatie & Racisme, een preadvies hierover

Do human rights provide a progressive counterpoint to migration law? In this article, I highlight their structurally conservative side & argue that the European Court of Human Rights legitimates the foundations of border regimes even when finding rights violations #migsky brill.com/view/journal...

Feminist legal scholars Flora Renz and Davina Cooper wrote an article for our journal recently exploring how/why we should think about gender discrimination and legal responses to address it beyond biological frameworks. You can read it here (open access): link.springer.com/article/10.1...

The current political climate is characterised by a backlash against human rights, exacerbating the discrimination of several communities. On @humanrightshere.bsky.social, I discuss how this year’s Zero Discrimination Day theme advocates for an intersectional approach to eliminating discrimination.

Thank you @gatybiyo.bsky.social for the invitation to serve as a discussant for @ivy180.bsky.social’s wonderful lecture on Re-imagining EU Law and Institutions. I learned a lot and was inspired by Professor Solanke’s important work on decolonising EU law.

wrote a thing about disciplinary crises & politics, CLS vs. marxism, letters & signing things & had lots of fun doing it ❤️‍🔥

In the latest issue of the European Equality Law Review, I take stock of the Pay Transparency Directive's intersectional approach. I note potential challenges that lie ahead: the limits of intersectional discrimination's definition, comparators, burden of proof, & sanctions in intersectional claims.

Looking forward to reading this! Tackling systematic, structural, pre-market inequalities means it’s so important to challenge the assumption that equality = sameness of treatment, with a comparator.

Equality law is an inherently comparative framework, as a claimant must compare themselves to a comparator to establish a presumption of discrimination. What types of comparisons are used in equality claims? Is relying on comparators desirable in equality law? My piece discussing this is out:

Tomorrow it’s finally time for our workshop on Critical Approaches to European Human Rights at @hertiecfr.bsky.social, co-organised with @esrademir.bsky.social & @cohelongo.bsky.social and with an absolute dream line-up of speakers — looking forward to an intense day of thinking together #CritECHR

“Libya taught me what it means to be dehumanized. Europe teaches me what it means to be erased. The so-called asylum system in Libya and Europe is a failure, but not by accident, it was never meant for the Black African child.” @davidyambio.bsky.social www.refugeesinlibya.org/post/chronic...

Colonialism maintains a stranglehold on knowledge production through an elaborate publication infrastructure largely based in the global North which plays the role of gatekeeping on what qualifies as “legitimate”publishable knowledge. - Sylvia Tamale, Decolonization and Afro-Feminism, p. 281

🚨I'm seeing some climate accounts posting overpopulation stuff, so I've removed the paywall from my article on the subject: Overpopulation Is A Racist Trope.

De voorbije dagen stellen veel politici voor om het Nederlandse paspoort van mensen met een dubbele nationaliteit in te trekken. In deze blogpost leg ik uit waarom nationaliteitsafname rassendiscriminatie is & waarom dergelijke voorstellen een hellend vlak zijn. www.nemokennislink.nl/publicaties/...

One year ago, we issued a statement to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Our statement remains timely.
