Harvard Law School‘s Institute for Global Law & Policy (IGLP) will host a week-long colloquium for IGLP Senior Faculty, invited guests and IGLP junior faculty June 2-5, 2015. It will be chaired by Sundhya Pahuja of Melbourne Law School and Luis Eslava of Kent Law School. The theme is Modes of Engagement.
The three IGLP Colloquia to date have focused on questions of Political Economy (2012), Scale (2013), and Methodology (2014) as they relate to our collective ongoing endeavour to rethink law and institutions in the face of the most pressing questions of global policy. The 2015 Colloquium will develop our concerns by focusing on modes of engagement, both public and scholarly. How can we think about modes of public engagement, for example, as public intellectuals or activists? How might we enact supervisory relationships which complement our heterodox engagements with global political economy? How may we engage with our research in ways which takes seriously what we know about the production of knowledge? How can we approach the task of writing not only to communicate our concerns, but also as part of the iterative process of thinking? We will ask these questions by engaging in a series of interviews and conversations with a selection of activists, writers, intellectual historians, and scholars from other disciplines, and by putting their work into conversation with heterodox scholarship in international law.
