About this Event
About the Series
An ecological awareness is growing in contemporary law and legal thought. This is paving the way for a new legal paradigm that underscores both the inherent interconnectedness of modern society and the blurring boundaries between humans and non-humans.
Our annual theme for 2022-2023 lecture series examines the place and role of private law within this emerging legal paradigm. Through a sequence of lectures focused on key private law institutions and practices, we seek to identify, understand, and assess how private law interacts with its diverse ecosystems and contributes to shaping socio-economic and political relations among (non) humans within these ecosystems, in the context of shifting normative expectations and social needs.
