About Ariël Decoster

Ariel is a doctoral researcher specialised in feminist legal theory and critical legal masculinity studies at the University of Antwerp and Ghent. Her FWO-funded dissertation, entitled “Masculinity as Property”, sits at the intersection of legal studies, gender studies, and philosophy. She relies on the notion of property as a heuristic tool to make visible where male privilege hides in an increasingly gender-neutral legal system. In this way, her research rethinks the way law, gender and power are intertwined.
