Lyn Tjon Soei Len is a feminist legal scholar. The focus of her work is the relationship between private law and social injustice and centers on the intersection of gender, race and markets. Her recent scholarship examines legal notions of vulnerability and issues of epistemic injustice and private law. Her book, Minimum Contract Justice, explores the intersection of social injustice and contract law through the case of consumer contracts for goods produced by women in global sweatshops.
Tjon Soei Len has taught courses on gender justice; feminist critiques of markets; feminist legal theory; and gender, power and privilege. She previously held positions as a Diversity Scholar in the College of Education and Human Ecology’s Office of Equity, Diversity at Ohio State; an assistant professor of law and international feminist studies at the University of New Hampshire; and as the Deputy Director of the Centre for the Study of European Contract Law at the Amsterdam School of Law.
