Law and Inequalities: Global and Local
Registration will open in early 2014
All participants must register
The conference room block will be available upon registration in early 2014.
Recent decades have seen the persistence and growth of powerful inequalities within and between groups and within and among nations. The 2014 program theme returns to a question central to the Association’s founding: the role of law and legal institutions in sustaining, creating, interrogating, and ameliorating inequalities. The 2014 Program invites participants to explore and consider three questions:
· How can Law and Society scholarship contribute to unearthing and understanding inequalities?
· How can Law and Society scholarship contribute to the critical interrogation of discourses of equality and inequality and help to reveal what is at stake in these concepts?
· What impact can we expect these scholarly contributions to have on the persistence of these inequalities and on public discourse about them?
