Summary:This article relates feminist research and teaching with the need to think about international law ethically, in ways that take account of how international lawyers are located in global power networks. It explores ways in which a feminist approach to international law can be explored through the inclusion, in international legal curricula, of material that questions the central notions of citizenship and sovereignty. Some ways in which feminist theorists have attempted to ask new questions about citizenship and sovereignty are outlined, including citizenship as a discourse about exclusion, and citizenship, sovereignty and identity. Implications for teaching are then examined, such as being aware of students' emotional response to issues of class, gender, race and ethnicity, and the need to find ways to communicate across the differences between members of the group.
