We are pleased to share two upcoming initiatives within the Global Law & Humanities Mentorship Program, offering important opportunities for international dialogue on legal critique and interdisciplinary research: Digital Book Launch “Law & Critique / Recht & Kritik”.
In a context marked by autocratic legalism, polycrisis, and dynamics of lawfare, the volume raises a crucial question: is legal critique still possible today?
This second volume in the series (Karl Alber Verlag) explores the ambivalent and tension-filled relationship between law and critique. Bringing together 29 contributors, it engages a wide range of perspectives—decolonial, critical race theory, posthumanist, and anti-cispatriarchal—while also reflecting on the need to defend the rule of law in times of democratic crisis. The contributions examine law in relation to social practices and political movements, interrogate processes of legal subjugation, and propose pluralistic and reconstructive understandings of the juridical.
Speakers: Peter Goodrich, Heide Gerstenberger, Gerlov van Engelenhoven, Ralph Grunewald, Daria Bayer
Moderator: Greta Olson. For details here.
