Narratives, Frontier Technologies, and the Law (Part II): Towards a Feminist Turn in Law and Technology

Part II of the symposium Narratives, Frontier Technologies, and the Lawcontinues to explore how legal narratives shape the governance of emerging technologies. This issue gives particular attention to the ways in which gendered assumptions and androcentric perspectives inform both technological development and legal regulation. Featuring contributions exclusively from women academics, this volume demonstrates that the inclusion of diverse voices in law and technology is essential not only for identifying structural bias but also for enriching the field as a whole. Some articles advance explicit feminist critiques, while others explore broader legal questions beyond gender, illustrating the breadth and foundational importance of women’s scholarship.Through analyses of artificial intelligence, genome editing, algorithmic moderation, and user-generated content in video games, the authors show that law is not merely reactive to technological innovation but also actively constructs and contests the narratives that define what is possible, permissible, and just. This symposium aims to clarify how foregrounding different perspectives can strengthen both legal scholarship and the regulatory responses to frontier technologies.
