The
Centre for Law and Society in a Global Context (CLSGC), Queen Mary University
of London is pleased to welcome Professor Christopher Thornhill to present the
first annual CLSGC lecture. This event will be chaired by Professor Richard
Nobles, Queen Mary University of London.
Chris
Thornhill is Professor in Law at the University of Manchester, UK. He is the
author of a number of publications on the sociological origins of
constitutional law and transnational public law, and he has played a central
role in promoting the sociology of constitutions as a sub-division of legal
sociology. His works on legal sociology and jurisprudence have been translated
into many languages. He is currently researching for a book on the sociology of
transnational constitutional law. His research is funded by the European
Research Council.
The
Centre for Law and Society in a Global Context (CLSGC) is a home for
multidisciplinary research into the global dimensions of law and society. At
its core, the CLSGC 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. This as an open collaborative
project, welcoming the insights of socio-legal and doctrinal scholars working
in any area of law. The Centre understands ‘global context’ broadly,
encompassing transnational, international, regional, supra-state, and (where
relevant) sub-state phenomena.
The aim
is to combine both contemporary and historical approaches, recognising that the
global dimension of law and society is, in many respects, not a new phenomenon.
Apart from undertaking collaborative research, we also supervise post-graduate
research, and regularly host workshops, seminars and conferences.
» This
event will be followed by a drinks reception to which all attendees are
invited.
