Law, Culture and the Humanities Conference and Graduate Workshop 2024
Every year, the Association for the Study of Law, Culture, and Humanities holds it annual conference, usually a two-day affair, as well as a graduate student workshop, usually held on the day before the annual conference. The theme of this year’s conference is “Senses of Law”. Law is heard, seen, experienced, felt, and understood in many ways. This year’s theme invites submissions on legal senses, sensibilities, and sensations. What satisfies “the sense of justice”? What makes for a legal sensation? How does law depend on, appeal to, or defy common sense(s)? What are the different sensibilities that law creates, cultivates, challenges, and ignores? How do the meanings that law takes for granted, or brings into being, fall differently on different ears?
