Feminism and comparative constitutional studies

Abstract

Feminism and comparative constitutional studies (CCS) both permit multiple different methodological approaches. For that reason, there are also multiple ways of doing feminist constitutional comparison. But feminist commitments point to three broad methodological principles that can and should inform CCS: first, attention to issues of gender and gender justice; second, the use of small-n and large-n methods in the field; and third, the promotion of diverse female-identifying and non-binary scholarly voices. This comment attempts to encourage further scholarly debate about the scope and implications of these principles for the field as a whole.
