To conclude: Tania Ixchel Atilano, Michelle Staggs Kelsall, and Joyce De Coninck reflected on the relationship between motherhood, the development of one’s academic career and how international legal academia could become a better place for women in academics.

What is SWAIL's relationship to #TWAIL?
Part II discusses intersections and divergences between the two approaches.
@pilabuda.bsky.social & Marek Wasiński reflect on the discomforts SWAIL may provoke and on what SWAIL can offer scholars and practitioners.

Whitework embroidery on our cover is no coincidence: like stitches needing a discerning eye, women’s roles in international law are interwoven yet often overlooked. Conceptualized by Daniel & @polinakulish.bsky.social the cover reflects this & the symposium’s aim to highlight them.
