Kent Law School\u2019s Regulating Time network has issued a call for papers for its final international conference to be held in September 2016 and entitled \u2018The New Legal Temporalities? Disicpline and Resistance across Domains of Time\u2019.<\/p>\n
The Regulating Time<\/a> research network, funded by the UK\u2019s Arts & Humanities Research Council, investigates how law and regulation are shaped by dominant understandings of time. The conference will be held at the University of Kent\u2019s Canterbury campus on 8 \u2013 10 September 2016.<\/p>\n Network co-ordinator and Reader in Law at Kent Law School, Dr Emily Grabham (pictured above), said: \u2018We have a fantastic line-up of plenary speakers: Carol Greenhouse (anthropology, Princeton), Michelle Bastian (philosophy,\u00a0Edinburgh), Sarah Keenan (law, Birkbeck),\u00a0Dipika Jain (law, Jindhal), and\u00a0Justin Richland (anthropology,\u00a0Chicago). We’re also delighted to have a writer in residence: Annabel Lyon, whose prize-winning novels The Golden Mean <\/em>and The Sweet Girl <\/em>trace the lives of Aristotle and his daughter Pythias.\u2019<\/p>\n Conference streams include:<\/p>\n Conference papers, presentations, or art-based engagements focusing on the relationship between law, governance and time are invited from legal scholars as well as scholars working in disciplines other than law and governance. The deadline for stream and panel proposals is 15 February 2016 and the deadline for individual abstracts is 29 February 2016. More information is available on the Regulating Time blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n On 20 January 2016, the network is hosting a \u2018Time, Regulation and Technoscience\u2019 workshop at the University of York where fellow network co-ordinator Dr Sian Benyon \u2013Jones is a lecturer at the Department of Sociology. \u00a0Questions the workshop will explore include:<\/p>\n Attendance is free but places are limited. Registrations can be made online via the Law and Time website<\/a>. Further information is available via sian.benyon-jones@york.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n The two-year Regulating Time research network was officially launched at a two-day international workshop in April 2015. The workshop, entitled \u2018Diagnosing Legal Temporalities\u2019 offered participants an opportunity to explore emerging themes in law, regulation, time and temporality.<\/p>\n Amongst issues speakers addressed were: whether an analysis of time and temporalities could add to critical and feminist research on law and regulation; the specific or distinct nature of legal approaches to time, where law emerged and how it was shaped by, or productive of, temporalities;\u00a0 and what theories or perspectives on time provided useful vantage points from which to analyse and account for law and time.<\/p>\n\n
