Juris North Roundtables 2024
Title: Queer Theory, Leadership and Inclusion
Following successful roundtable events exploring the work of Hans Kelsen in 2021 and 2022, and contemporary non/anti-positivist legal theory in 2023, Juris North is pleased to announce the theme of our 2023 Roundtable Series: Queer Theory, Leadership and Inclusion. We invite participants to present work-in-progress that engages with an aspect of queer theory. Papers may approach this theme from either a doctrinal or theoretical perspective.
Aims:
- To critically assess domestic, regional and/or global crossovers with a specific thematic area.
- To explore different stakeholder journeys and views.
- To seek different perspectives and exchanges about the same theme and explore possibilities for collaboration in terms of research, practice and education.
Led by:
Dr Jorge E. Núñez, Manchester Law School
Dr Anna Chronopoulou, Westminster Law School
Participants:
Open to all. Ideally, multi-disciplinary, transversal and inclusive (academics, policy-makers, people at large from different states, religions, genders, ethnicities, etc.).
Format:
The purpose of these roundtable events is to showcase and develop works-in-progress rather than completed papers. Each session will start with a keynote presentation and Q&A, which we expect to last around one hour. Following a short break, we will then begin the work-in-progress roundtable during which we will hear from up to three speakers. Each speaker will be given a short period of time (5-10minutes) to summarise the key position of their paper, before the floor is opened to a general discussion amongst all attendees to discuss themes and links that emerge from the presentations. Though in-person attendance is encouraged, each event will be hosted in a hybrid-format at Manchester Law School and/or Westminster Law School.
Dates/Times: monthly meetings.
April 2024: Date/Time TBC
May 2024: Date/Time TBC
June 2024: Date/Time TBC
Final event:
The series will culminate in a one-day event in September/October 2024 where attendees can present papers that have been updated as a result of the series.
We are currently in discussions with Hart as to the possibility of publishing presented papers as an edited collection.
