Workshop 'Avatars of Crisis: Exploring Emergency at the Nexus between Law, History and Theory'

Contexts, Law, Actors, in accordance with its intellectual commitment in bringing the legal history and jurisprudential inquiry to the centre of the analysis of emergency. In this respect, the workshop will offer a snapshot of the research undertaken so far by the members of the team and aims to offer a venue for discussion with leading scholars and practitioners (interventions from Professor David Fraser, Professor Iulia Motoc and Professor Stephen Skinner), with a view of grasping the contemporary relevance that legal historical analysis holds. Moreover, the workshop is aimed at supporting the efforts of the research team by opening the work to critical analysis and scrutiny.
