The Fourth Annual Conference of the Toronto Group for the Study of
International, Transnational, and Comparative Law
January 2011
The Toronto Group
The Toronto Group for the Study of International, Transnational, and Comparative Law is pleased to announce its fourth annual graduate student conference. The principal aim of the Toronto Group’s annual conference is to facilitate collaborative discussion among graduate students and junior faculty members engaged in critical and transformative inquiries into law and legal scholarship in international contexts.
Past conferences have focused on testing the boundaries between international, transnational and comparative law, on exploring the relationship between law and international political and economic structures, and on developing critical historicized reflections on international law and legal scholarship.
2011 Keynote Speakers: Nathaniel Berman & Balakrishnan Rajagopal
Conference Dates: January 28-29, 2011
2011 Conference Theme:
This year’s conference will take the concept of global “social movements” as its starting point. We seek papers that examine the relationship between legal scholarship, strategic/pragmatic legal action, social movements, and diverse tactics of resistance/mobilization from multiple perspectives and spaces. Conference papers should conceptualize legal praxis (methods, analytic frameworks, key literatures and conversations in international/transnational and comparative law) as it relates to social movements and their efforts to resist or transform international legal arrangements.
While the conference’s objective is to facilitate engagement with issues arising from these and related areas of international legal scholarship, submissions from graduate students in other disciplines of law or disciplines other than law are encouraged.
