MEETING: Canadian Law and Society Association, Annual Meeting 2014
Canadian Law and Society Association Annual Meeting 2014, Faculty of Law, University of Manitoba, June 6-8, 2014
Law’s Encounters: Co-existing and Contradictory Norms and
Systems
Law is dynamic. Over the course of time, law changes within and across
societies. These changes are influenced by the course that society takes and in
turn, society changes based on the dictates of law. In the process of
societal interactions, law becomes expressed in multiple forms. Some of these
forms are complementary, others are contradictory. The focus of the Canadian
Law and Society’s Annual Meeting in 2014 is law’s multiple encounters in
navigating interactions in society. It involves an exploration of co-existing
legal and socio-legal norms as well as the contradictions inherent in some of
these encounters. We are interested in papers, panels and other groups
that explore law’s encounters at the margins as well as the center.
Our broad theme explores several areas of socio-legal thought and scholarship
including:
- Disciplinary allegiances in socio-legal
scholarship
- Indigenous laws and traditions and other
legal systems
- Interactions between social norms, statute
and other forms of legal expression
- International law/norms and domestic law
- Historical foundations of law’s
multi-faceted encounters
- New and emerging socio-legal encounters
- Law’s encounters with gender, disability,
race, health, age, criminalization etc.
- Crises – war, terrorism, financial crises
and others – and spontaneous development of laws in light of pre-existing norms
- Law’s encounters with difference
We invite proposals in these areas and others that explore the broad theme of
the co-existences and contradictions inherent in law’s encounters with peoples,
communities and broader society. Proposals may include but are not limited
to
- Papers
- Panels
- Graduate student workshops
- Roundtables
- Research workshops
- Author meets readers sessions
We also invite expressions of interest for chairing panels.
Please e-mail proposals of between 250 words to 300 words, including 2-4 keywords,
institutional affiliation and contact details to Maura Matesic at mmatesic@yorku.ca by January
31st, 2014. We will acknowledge receipt of your proposal.
The Canadian Law and Society Association (CLSA) is holding its 2014 Annual
Meeting in conjunction with the Canadian Association of Law Teachers (CALT).
There will also be a joint graduate student workshop and lunch, and a
joint CLSA/CALT dinner on June 7.
