Dear members of the Kent LLM community,<\/p>\nDear members of the Kent LLM community,<\/p>\n
We are delighted to announce that this year’s CeCIL annual lecture and workshop will take place on Friday 18th March<\/b>, and we encourage you to take part in the workshop by presenting some of your writing or ideas toward a future research project.\u00a0 Last year we featured a panel of LLM students who presented based upon essays they had written for autumn term modules, and they all found it a very rewarding academic experience. For a description of the event (with comments from LLM participants), please see the following:<\/p>\n

This year we are honoured that Professor Gerry Simpson of the\u00a0London School of Economics will deliver the lecture, and we are delighted that he will also attend the workshop. Professor Simpson is\u00a0a wonderful speaker, and his work and approach will speak to all of you not only\u00a0interested in international law in its broadest sense, but also in\u00a0critical\u00a0approaches to law more generally. His work needs no introduction to many of you; he is the author of Great Powers and Outlaw States<\/i> (Cambridge, 2004) and Law, War and Crime: War Crimes Trials and the Reinvention of International Law<\/i> (Polity, 2007) and you can find out more at\u00a0 http:\/\/www.lse.ac.uk\/collections\/law\/staff\/gerry-simpson.htm<\/span><\/a>\u00a0. His current research\u00a0investigates the literary life of international law.<\/p>\n Should you wish to take part in the workshop,\u00a0we invite you to submit an abstract in light of this year’s CeCIL theme, The Victims of International Law.\u00a0 <\/i>We understand this theme broadly.\u00a0 It encompasses how\u00a0international law and legal structures not only address but also produce<\/i> various forms of victimhood.\u00a0\u00a0Please email me (s.kendall@kent.ac.uk<\/b><\/span><\/a>)\u00a0a short abstract\u00a0of 100-300 words by 15 February (CALL EXTENDED UNTIL WEDNESDAY 17th FEBRUARY!!)\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0if you would like to take part in the workshop.\u00a0 Even if you do not participate in a panel we hope that you will be able to attend all or part of the day.\u00a0 If you wish to discuss whether your ideas will fit the theme please do feel free\u00a0to contact\u00a0any one of us.<\/p>\n There will also be a reception with refreshments between the workshop and the lecture – please feel free to join!<\/p>\n With very best wishes,<\/p>\n Luis Eslava, Emily Haslam and Sara Kendall (Co-directors, Cecil)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
