LIAS Lecture: From Critique to Commoning – The Role of Law in Social Ecological Transformation
Prof. Dr. Isabel Feichtner
29. Nov
29. November 2023, 6:00–8:00 pm
Campus | Central Building C40.704
With an introduction by Erich Hörl, LIAS Academic Co-Director.
The lecture addresses the role of law, legal scholarship and legal education in social ecological transformation. With reference to two contemporary struggles -- around deep seabed mining and the assetization of housing – the lecture explores ways to move beyond a critique of law that reveals law’s complicity in an extractive political economy to a transformative law that disrupts and resists extraction and instead supports the commons and commoning.
Prof. Dr. Isabel Feichtner, Professor of Public Law and International Economic Law at the University of Würzburg.
