A call for stream proposals has been issued for the UK’s annual Critical Legal Conference, a gathering of international legal scholars to be held at Kent.
The Critical Legal Conference (CLC) attracts critical and radical legal scholars from all over the world and was first launched at Kent in 1986. This year’s conference, Turning Points, is hosted by a team of scholars from Kent Law School and will take place from 1-3 September.
Law Lecturer Nick Piska, a member of the organising CLC committee, said: ‘This year we want to open a forum for reflection on the precarious political situation of the present for individuals, for markets, for nations and particularly for Europe in a global context – a theme particularly apposite for a conference at University of Kent, which both founded the CLC and is the UK’s European University.’
Confirmed Plenary Speakers include:
- Donatella Alessandrini, Kent Law School
- Kathleen Davis, University of Rhode Island
- Isabell Lorey, European Institute for Progressive Cultural Policies
- Davide Tarizzo, University of Salerno
Stream Proposals of no more than 500 words (plus short bios of the stream organisers) should be sent to klsclc2016@kent.ac.uk by 7 March 2016. A Call for Papers and Panels will be opened later in March when streams are announced.
Participants are also invited to curate screenings, performances and other creative formats at the conference and can submit their suggestions to: klsclc2016@kent.ac.uk
