About the Event
Jindal Global Law School (JGLS) – India’s top-ranked law school – invites applications from eligible candidates for a two-day intensive and residential Faculty Development Programme (FDP) in the eld of international law.
As international law has entered its “post ontological”era, the discipline has undergone a larger reimagination in its thought and praxis. The transformation has been happening not only in general international law but also in all its specialized branches. Transformations are primarily reected on the doctrines—both general and special—and have an impact on their functions as they nd newer contexts of application. These epistemological developments have also transformed the professional sensibilities of international law and the way international law is practiced. As a way of response, international law has adopted a new language and imagination. It is these trends and the response to them that we refer to as reimagination and that which this FDP aims to capture.
Objective
-To get young scholars to familiarize themselves with the postmodern transformations in international law
-To introduce international law teachers to contemporary and relevant debates in international law
-To understand the pedagogic challenges in teaching the transformations in international law
