CFP: Human Rights and Legal Pluralism in Theory and Practice – Oslo, Norway

The Norwegian Centre for Human Rights and the Rights, Individuals, Culture and Society Research Centre will host Human Rights and Legal Pluralism in Theory and Practice December 5-6, 2014, at the Faculty of Law of the University of Oslo.

The objective of this conference is to identify, describe, and analyse practical issues regarding the interpretation and realisation of human rights in light of legal pluralism – the co-existence and interaction of various normative orders in the same social field. This requires an exploration of the role of actors, governance and power relations.

The organisers encourage participants from all fields to contribute with interdisciplinary, theoretical and/or empirical studies, addressing cross-cutting issues of gender, ethnicity, religion and/or culture.

The deadline for paper abstracts and panel suggestions is August 1, 2014; submission of completed papers for circulation to participants is November 14, 2014. Contact the organisers via Prof. Maria Lundberg (maria.lundberg[@]nchr.uio.no) if you have any questions or comments.
