LAW: Imagining Justice and Injustice

San Francisco, California, USA

11th Annual Conference of The Association for the Study of Law, Culture and the Humanities

The Association for the Study of Law, Culture and the Humanities is an organization of scholars engaged in interdisciplinary, humanistically oriented legal scholarship.... The theme for the 11th annual meeting will be Imagining Justice and Injustice. Justice, or some imagining of justice, is always present to, but never fully realized in, law. It is, in one sense, constitutive of the legal imagination, if not our imagining of law. Injustice, or the spectre of injustice, is the dangerous underside of law and moves interdisciplinary legal scholars to critique. In choosing Imagining Justice and Injustice as the theme for this meeting we want to encourage exploration of these two contestable propositions. We want to encourage scholars from across the full range of disciplines in law, culture, and the humanities to think through the complex relations of law, justice, and imagination. In addition to papers and panels exploring this theme we welcome submissions on any law, culture, and humanities subject.
