ABSTRACT
This chapter falls within a research programme entitled 'Studies of Academic Knowledge', which is a part of the international academic field 'social studies of science and scientific knowledge' in which academic knowledge is studied in a social context. In this chapter legal scholarship is added to the academic disciplines studied from this perspective. The purpose of this chapter is to analyse changes in the field of legal scholarship in order to discuss the position of feminist legal studies within legal scholarship. The ongoing process of boundary-work will be related to three epistemological aspects of legal scholarship, namely: the demarcation of the discipline, the sources of knowledge that are recognized, and the concept of knowledge. This chapter focuses on the demarcation of legal scholarship using Gieryn's concept of boundary-work where established and revolutionary positions come into conflict. In order to make the boundary-work understandable.
