16-18 December 2024 (Conference)
The University of Hong Kong Faculty of Law
This Conference is an invitation to collectively examine, critique, and, for the more daring, transform the imaginaries that constellate our grasp of reality and sustain the authority of law – from the racialised and gendered representations that give form and force to the colonial and patriarchal imaginaries of both North and South; to the configurations of sovereignty that are held together by the sociotechnical and technoscientific imaginaries of the Anthropocene; to the confined and confining figures of justice that populate the modern imaginaries of the state…
We are now accepting three kinds of proposals:
- PAPERS (indvidual or co-authored)
- PANELS (comprising three to four papers)
- CREATIVE SESSIONS (from the more conventional, such as roundtable discussions and author-meets-reader, to the more creative, such as art installations or performance – we are open to ideas)
Please use the form below to submit your proposal. You may submit more than one proposal, but we may need to limit participation depending on the number of submissions that we receive.
We encourage you to identify a STREAM for inclusion of your paper/panel/session. The streams provide the Conference sub-themes, helping to put papers in conversation with each other while creating ongoing conversations across sessions. If your proposal does not fit within any of the streams, you may select the General stream and we will do our best to match your submission to similar General submissions.
For a detailed description of the streams, CLICK HERE.
PhD candidates are encouraged to participate in the Conference as well as in the PhD Day to be held on 15 December. Please identify your position as a PhD researcher in the form below.
A limited amount of funding is available to assist with the cost of attending the Conference. Preference will be given to participants who do not have access to institutional funding from the Global South and PhD candidates.
