6 November 2014
The Centre for Law and Culture at St Mary’s University, Twickenham is holding a free lecture as part of its 2014-15 Public Lecture Series
‘Graphic Reporting: Human Rights Violations through the Lens of Graphic Novels’ and will be delivered by guest speakers Dr Jérémie Gilbert (University of East London) and Dr David Keane (Middlesex University). It is derived from their contribution to a collection on law and comics, edited by Centre for Law and Culture Co-Director Dr Thomas Giddens (in press at Routledge).
The lecture will discuss the potential for graphic novels to influence human rights practice. At present, a handful of pioneering authors are producing graphic accounts of rights violations initially largely involving armed conflict but extending into other situations.

7) Swansea University
Minds, Brains and Law: A Conference on Law and Neuroscience,
11th and 12th December 2014
Speakers: Michael S Moore, Dennis Patterson, Joanna Glynn QC, Huw Williams, Zachary Hoskins, Marion Godman, Michael Pardo,
John Danaher, Pim Haselager, Burkhard Schafer, Aidan Byrne, Bebhinn Donnelly-Lazarov, Jennifer Chandler, Elizabeth Shaw
This timely conference brings together influential researchers from the rapidly emerging and increasingly important field of law and neuroscience. Developments in neuroscience, and in particular the ability of neuroscientific technologies to probe the depths of mind and brain, are potentially of great significance for law. To what degree, for example, should neuroscientific evidence be admissible in courts? For what purposes? If our actions are the result not of conscious choice but rather the work of synapses and neuronal events, can we really say that anyone is responsible for their actions? The two-day event convened by Swansea University College of Law and its Centre for Global Legal Priorities will explore these and other conundrums in a professionally and academically integrated setting. In addition it will mark the recent publication of Minds Brains and Law, by Professor Dennis Patterson (Swansea) and Professor Michael Pardo (University of Alabama): a book considered likely to ‘profoundly affect the current perception of the relation between law and neuroscience’ (Peter Hacker, St John's College, Oxford).
