Influenced

Martha Albertson Fineman (born 1943) is an American jurist, legal theorist and political philosopher. She is Robert W. Woodruff Professor of Law at Emory University School of Law. Fineman was previously the first holder of the Dorothea S. Clarke Professor of Feminist Jurisprudence at Cornell Law School.[1] She held the Maurice T. Moore Professorship at Columbia Law School.[2]

Fineman works in the areas of feminist legal theory and critical legal theory and directs the Feminism and Legal Theory Project, which she founded in 1984.[3] Much of her early scholarship focuses on the legal regulation of family and intimacy, and she has been called "the preeminent feminist family theorist of our time."[4] She has since broadened her scope to focus on the legal implications of universal dependency, vulnerability and justice. Her recent work formulates a theory of vulnerability. She is a progressive liberal thinker; she has been an affiliated scholar of John Podesta's Center for American Progress.

Career

Fineman has a B.A. from Temple University (1971) and a J.D. from the University of Chicago (1975). After graduating from law school, she clerked for the Hon. Luther Merritt Swygert of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, and was on faculty at the University of Wisconsin Law School from 1976 to 1990. Subsequently, Fineman moved to Columbia Law School, where she was appointed as the Maurice T. Moore Professor of Law in 1990. She went on to become the first Dorothea S. Clarke Professor of Feminist Jurisprudence at Cornell Law School in 1999. Since 2004, she has been a Robert W. Woodruff Professor of Law at Emory University School of Law.[5] The honor is "reserved for world-class scholars who are not only proven leaders of their own fields of specialty, but also ambitious bridge-builders across specialty disciplines."[6]

Feminism and Legal Theory Project

Fineman is the founding director of the Feminism and Legal Theory Project, which she founded in 1984 and which has been housed by the University of Wisconsin Law School, Columbia Law School, Cornell Law School, and Emory University School of Law. Fineman founded the FLT Project at the University of Wisconsin Law School and for the next six years the Project hosted an annual summer conference to "provide a forum for interdisciplinary feminist scholarship addressing important issues in law and society."[7] Over time, Fineman expanded the scope of the Project – increasing the number and variety of annual workshops and presentations, and adding new programs.[8]

Fineman seeks to bring together other feminists to validate established expertise and encourage newly emerging scholars.[9] The Feminism and Legal Theory Project brings together scholars to study and debate a wide range of topics related to feminist theory and law.[10] The FLT Project hosts four or five scholarly workshops per year with a core commitment "to foster interdisciplinary examinations of specific law and policy topics of particular interest to women." FLT Project inquiries do not address gender exclusively – project scholarship is concerned with equality issues related to the intersections of race, gender, class, sexuality and ability.[11] The FLT Project published At the Boundaries of Law: Feminism and Legal Theory (1990) and Transcending the Boundaries of Law: Generations of Feminism and Legal Theory (2011) as well as other books.[12]

Vulnerability and the Human Condition Initiative

Fineman directs the Vulnerability and the Human Condition Initiative which was founded in 2008 at Emory Law School. This program hosts national and international workshops and visitors. Its purpose is to provide a forum for scholars interested in engaging the concepts of "vulnerability" and "resilience" and the idea of a "responsive state" in constructing a universal approach to address the human condition.

Fineman은 미국진보센터의 소속 학자다.[13]

2018년 9월에는 시스크 연례 보고서 자료를 바탕으로 브라이언 리터의 로스쿨 보고서(Law School Reports)에서 2013~2017년 미국 내 가장 많은 교사를 받은 가정법학부 1위에 올랐다.[14]

종속성 및 취약성에 대한 작업

그녀는 이제 보편적 의존성, 취약성, 정의의 법적 함의에 초점을 맞추고 있다.

Fineman은 2004년 저서 The Autonomy News: A Dependency of Dependency, Fineman은 "미국에서 인기 있는 이데올로기가 시민들이 자율적으로 행동하고 있어야 한다는 신화에 집착하게 되었다"고 주장한다. 그러나 Fineman은 어떤 사회에서도 의존은 피할 수 없고, 그 정책을 유지하기 위해 다루어져야 한다는 사실은 국가가 돌봄을 지원할 책임을 갖게 한다고 주장한다.[15]

2008년 예일 법 페미니즘 저널에 실린 그녀의 글 "취약계층 주제"는 또한 "취약계층 주제"라는 제목의 2011년 책의 기초를 이룬다.

파인만은 다음과 같이 주장한다.

취약성은 인간의 상태에 내재된 보편적이고 일정한 것으로 이해되어야 한다. 취약성 접근방식은 전통적인 동등한 보호 분석에 대한 대안이다. 이는 특정 집단에 대한 차별에만 초점을 맞추지 않고, 국가와 더 넓은 사회가 그들의 기관을 통해 부여한 제한된 모집단에 대한 특권과 호의에 관심을 가지고 있다는 점에서 사후 ID 조사를 나타낸다. 이와 같이 취약성 분석은 우리 사회가 가지고 있는 기관과 구조에 초점을 맞추고 있으며 우리의 공통 취약성을 관리하기 위해 확립할 것이다. 이러한 접근방식은 우리를 현재의 차별에 기반한 모델들의 숨막히는 한계를 넘어 보다 실질적인 평등의 비전을 향해 나아갈 수 있는 잠재력을 가지고 있다.[16]

셀버그와 웨거스타드에 따르면

Fineman의 학문적 연구의 기본은 평등, 자유주의 주제, 그리고 널리 퍼져있는 차별금지 정치에 대한 페미니스트적인 비판이다. 파인만에 따르면, 현재의 차별금지 독트린은 차별이 개인의 자유와 자율성과 같은 가치로 특징지어지는 다른 정의롭고 공정한 시스템에 대한 발견 가능하고 수정 가능한 예외라고 가정한다. 의존에 관한 그녀의 연구를 발전시키며, 파인만은 우리의 육체적 허약성, 물질적 필요성, 그리고 그것들이 나타내는 지저분한 의존성이 삶에서 무시할 수 없다면, 그들이 평등, 사회, 정치, 법에 대한 우리의 이론에 어떻게 빠질 수 있을까?'라고 의문을 제기한다. 성별과 다른 정체성 범주를 넘어서, 파인만은 취약성의 개념을 사용하여 '인간이라는 것이 의미하는 바로 그 의미를 정의한다'[17]고 한다.

Awards and recognitions

Fineman is the recipient of the 2008 Cook Award from the School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University[18] and the 2006–2007 Leverhulme Visiting Professorship.[19] She is the recipient of the Harry Kalven Prize,[20] awarded by the Law and Society Association to a scholar whose body of "empirical scholarship has contributed most effectively to the advancement of research in law and society."[21] In March 2004, a symposium of some 500 scholars and students gathered at Emory University School of Law to celebrate the scholarship of its three Robert W. Woodruff Professors of Law, Harold J. Berman, Martha Albertson Fineman, and Michael J. Perry, and Visiting Professor Martin E. Marty.[22]

In 2010, Fineman held a Marie Curie Fellowship at the UCD Equality Studies Center which was awarded by the European Union. In 2012, Fineman held the Cecil H. and Ida Green Visiting Professorship at the University of British Columbia. In 2013, Lund University awarded her an honorary doctorate. The Faculty of Law named Fineman and former Swedish Chief Justice Johan Munck as its new honorary doctors in 2013.[23]

In 2017, Fineman was awarded the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Lifetime Achievement Award by the Association of American Law Schools.[24] Additionally, she held a Neilson Professorship at the Kahn Liberal Arts Institute at Smith College and was named a Lifetime Fellow by the American Bar Foundation. In 2018, she was awarded Albany Law School's Miriam M. Netter '72 Stoneman Award in recognition of her efforts to expand opportunities for women.[25]

For 2020-2021, Fineman is a Distinguished Lecturer at the Hagler Institute for Advanced Study at Texas A&M University.
