We are planning to publish within the Springer book series the book Challenging Gender Frontiers: Societal, Legal, Medical, and Artistic Discourses and Practices of Emerging Gender Identities, Isidora Jarić, Dragica Vujadinović and Erzsébet Barát (Eds.)

The series Gender Perspectives in Law is the first systematic attempt to offer gender-competent legal knowledge in all fields of law and politics, including practices like judging, policymaking, feminist movements and their legal and political initiatives, etc. The necessity of a gender-sensitive approach in legal education emerges from the values and normative standards of today´s international and national law. Educating law students (who will eventually become future lawyers, judges, prosecutors, civil servants, members of governments and parliaments), as well as students of the humanities and the social sciences, in a gender-sensitive and gender-competent manner means investing in a legal and political future of better quality. It will inform more adequate interpretation and implementation of legal frameworks, and better-designed public policies. It means investing in a more just legal system by sensitizing legal professionals in all fields of legal practice, including public administration and policymaking. Gender competence in law fulfills the ideal of contemporary notions of justice – equal respect and protection for all individuals, creating equal opportunities and diminishing gender-based discrimination.

This book series aims to invite experts and academics from the fields of law, the humanities, and social sciences, to revisit their legal and multidisciplinary understanding and practice of emerging gender identities based on the cross-cutting notions of gender equality, intersectionality, and diversity.

We would like to take this opportunity to cordially invite you to submit your work for the next publication in the series by the title Challenging Gender Frontiers: Societal, Legal, Medical, and Artistic Discourses and Practices of Emerging Gender Identities.
