Critical Analysis of Law Workshop

The Critical Approaches to Law workshop is designed to survey the rich tradition of critical approaches to legal analysis, and to consider what possibilities they open up and what challenges they face at this time.  This year, the workshop will be offered in conjunction with the Max Planck Institute, and it will have a special focus on issues of diversity, citizenship and transnational law. 

The workshop will normally be held on Thursdays, from 4:10-6:00 .  The fall workshops will be held remotely, through a zoom link.  Some of the winter workshops may be held in person, if conditions permit.  

Past speakers, and perspectives, have included:

• Nicholas Blomley (Geography, Simon Fraser University)
• Marianne Constable (Rhetoric, UC Berkeley)
• Joseph  Fischel (Women’s, Gender, & Sexuality Studies, Yale)
• Paul Halliday (History, University of Virginia)
