The teaching of critical race, feminist, and queer theory generally, and of LGBT rights specifically, has developed into a discrete, contested, and politicised area of teaching in English law schools and beyond. While there is some academic discussion on the personal and political significance of 'promoting LGBT rights' within law schools, less considered is how 'LGBT rights' are shaped by the emotions of legal academics and how these emotions circumscribe what we imagine LGBT rights can and/or should mean in law and critical legal study. To illustrate this dynamic, this paper uses critical race, feminist, and queer scholarship alongside work in the emerging field of Law and Emotion to articulate the 'emotional grammar' of teaching a Gender, Sexuality and Law unit at an English law school. Turning to autoethnography, I use my emotional experiences as a methodological tool to explore how emotions co-constitute the pedagogical, political, scholarly, and personal registers of LGBT rights as a descriptive, critical, and normative pursuit. In doing so, I use 'emotional grammar' as a novel way to map how emotions structure legal pedagogies invested in pursuing LGBT rights. Emotional grammar illustrates how emotions structure: (1) the articulation of LGBT rights as an object of study in law; (2) the pursuit of law to secure the rights of LGBT people; and (3) the shape of legal critique relating to LGBT rights.
在英国法学院内外,批判性种族、女权和同性恋理论的教学,特别是 LGBT 权利的教学,已经发展成为一个独立的、有争议的和政治化的教学领域。虽然学术界对法学院内 "促进 LGBT 权利 "的个人和政治意义进行了一些讨论,但较少考虑 "LGBT 权利 "是如何被法律学者的情感所塑造的,以及这些情感是如何限定我们所想象的 LGBT 权利在法律和批判性法律研究中可以和/或应该意味着什么的。为了说明这种动态变化,本文利用批判性种族、女权主义和同性恋学术研究以及新兴的 "法律与情感 "领域的研究成果,阐述了在英国一所法学院教授 "性别、性与法律 "单元的 "情感语法"。通过自述,我将自己的情感体验作为一种方法论工具,探索情感如何共同构成了LGBT权利的教学、政治、学术和个人注册,并将其作为一种描述性、批判性和规范性的追求。在此过程中,我使用了 "情感语法 "这一新颖的方法来描绘情感如何构建追求 LGBT 权利的法律教学。情感语法说明了情感如何构建:(1)将 LGBT 权利表述为法律研究的对象;(2)追求法律以确保 LGBT 人的权利;以及(3)与 LGBT 权利相关的法律批判的形式。

In this roundtable discussion, early-career researchers working in the field of law, gender, and sexuality discuss international and trans-national developments to legal gender. 'The Future of Legal Gender' research project focused on the legislative framework of England and Wales to develop a prototype for decertification. The domestic legislation, however, was situated within a wider international context throughout the project. This roundtable discussion, therefore, provided an opportunity for reflection on the transnational issues raised by decertification, with a particular focus on developments arising in the jurisdiction(s) studied by the early career researchers. The roundtable began with a brief outline of these recent developments before moving to an open discussion on key themes including the value of reform on wider society, changes on-the-ground by non-state actors, and alternative processes for tackling gender inequalities without certifying legal gender. The online conversation took place on 28 June 2021 and has been transcribed and edited for continuity, clarity, and referencing.
