year = {2024},
note = {What are the impacts of virtualisation on mothers from the Global
South who are international law scholars and practitioners? This
article argues that it created both challenges and opportunities. It
starts with a general overview of international legal academia and
states that the Divisible College of International Law is a
predominantly male global-north college. Next, it provides some data
on the pandemic and how it has affected output in academia in unequal
ways by using Brazil as a case study. On that basis, the paper finds
that motherhood requires distinct attention as against other
performative identities. As a remedy, the paper applies TWAIL
feminisms as the approach and framework to revisit this debate and
render mothers from the Global South visible, especially in the
post-pandemic context. Synthesising these findings, the article
finally calls for an intersectional approach, namely a TWAIL
matricentric feminist approach to international law.},
