Photographs taken by Kent international law expert Dr Luis Eslava have been featured in an exhibition at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.
Dr Eslava was invited to contribute images to ‘Rio: 450 years of exclusion’ an exhibition of independent films and photography organised earlier this month by the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, the Núcleo de Inclusão Social, the Fórum de Ciência e Cultura and the Festival do Fórum Interuniversitário do Rio de Janeiro.
The photographs selected for the exhibition were taken by Dr Eslava during the course of research work for ‘Horizons of Inclusion: Life Between Laws and Developments in Rio de Janeiro’, a paper published in the Inter-American Law Review in 2013 and co-authored by Dr Eslava with Professor Maria Clara Dias from the Faculty of Philosophy and Social Sciences at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (one of the co-organizers of the exhibition.)
Dr Eslava is a lecturer in international law at Kent Law School, a senior fellow at Melbourne Law School, an international professor at Universidad Externado de Colombia and Junior Faculty at Harvard Law School’s Institute for Global Law and Policy. He teaches and writes in the areas of international law, international legal theory and history, anthropology of international law, public law, law and development, and urban law and politics. His research focuses on the relationship between international and domestic legal orders, and the effects of this relationship both on our jurisprudential understanding of these areas of law, and on the constitution of everyday life in today’s global order.
Dr Eslava is the Co-Director of the Centre for Critical International Law at Kent and the Co-Organizer of of the International Law and Politics Collaborative Research Network.
