Centre for Law and Society in a Global Context (CLSGC)

Description

Founded in 2013, the Centre for Law and Society in a Global Context (CLSGC) is a home for multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research into the global dimensions of law and society.

The Centre for Law and Society in a Global Context (CLSGC) is a home for multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research into the global dimensions of law and society.

At its core, the Centre aims to work towards a better theorisation of law in its changing social contexts, exploring the challenges posed for this endeavour by law’s increasingly important global dimensions. Members conceive this as an open collaborative project, welcoming the insights of socio-legal and doctrinal scholars working in any area of law. They understand ‘global context’ broadly, encompassing transnational, international, regional, supra-state, and (where relevant) sub-state phenomena. The Centre aims to combine both contemporary and historical approaches, recognising that the global dimension of law and society is, in many respects, not a new phenomenon. Centre researchers undertake collaborative research and supervise postgraduate research.

From 2018 to 2021 the Centre focused on the following three research themes:

• Time and place
• Power and capital
• Aesthetics and materiality
