Exploring the 'Socio' of Socio-Legal Studies
Please click here for a programme for Exploring the 'Socio' of Socio-Legal Studies
Keynote Speaker: .Susan S. Silbey, Professor of Sociology and Anthropology, MIT, USA; co-author of The Common Place of Law: Stories from Everyday Life (with Patricia Ewick); former editor of Studies in Law, Politics and Society and the Law & Society Review.Confirmed Invited Speakers: Professor Nicola Lacey, LSE, Professor John Clarke, The Open University, and Professor Sally Munt, University of Sussex.
Aim: The conference will provide an opportunity to explore the meanings and implications of the ‘socio’ aspect of socio-legal studies, and to lay out pathways for future study.
Rationale: While there has been some scholarship addressing the ‘socio’ of socio-legal studies, there remains considerable scope for further analysis – particularly through this pioneering, dedicated event. The conference offers an opportunity to consider a range of questions, including: Does the ‘socio’ connote the ‘social’ or ‘society’, and what are the implications of those connotations in an era of rapid change? Which social groups or societies have been privileged (and which subordinated) in the concern with the ‘socio’? How might social theory, sociology or other aspects of social sciences inform, or better inform, analysis of law, legal institutions and other objects of legal studies? Do developments in late modernity, such as consumerism, globalisation, or neoliberalism, pose fresh challenges that the ‘socio’ must address? How, if at all, do themes abounding the ‘socio’ in early twentyfirst-century scholarship, such as terrorism or security, create opportunities for new perspectives on the ‘legal’?
Fees: SLSA Full Members: £59.00; SLSA Student: £30.00 (refundable on attendance); Non-members: £79.00.
Closing Date for Applications: Friday 15 October.
