Marija Bartl (University of Amsterdam)

 

on

 

"Legal Imaginaries of Nature: Between Precaution and Innovation".

 

Marija Bartl is Associate Professor at the Faculty of Law, University of Amsterdam. Marija's research agenda revolves around the relationship between law and social change. In her research project VENI (funded by the Dutch Grant Authority NWO) , and titled 'BRINGING DEMOCRACY TO MARKETS: TTIP and the Politics of Knowledge in Postnational Governance', Marija explores the co-constututive relationship between institutions (democratic or not), laws and expert knowledge in the re-shaping of global political economy. Marija is also interested in the possible contribution of law, and private law in particular, to the socio-ecological transformation.
 
Marija serves as a Deputy Director of the Centre for the Study of European Contract Law (from 2015), and a PhD Dean at the Faculty of Law (from 2016). She teaches several courses, including 'Private law in European and International Perspective' and 'Making Markets beyond the State: Between Private Law and International Economic Law'. Marija has acquired her PhD from the European University Institute in Florence, with a thesis on Legitimacy and European Private Law.

 

In her HUCELL talk ‘Legal Imaginaries of Nature: Between Precaution and Innovation’, Marija Bartl will develop the concept of "legal imaginary" and illustrate its analytical and explanatory potential, on the example of a recent controversy: namely the challenge to the ‘precautionary principle’ by the so called ‘innovation principle’. The event will be moderated by Vladimir Bogoeski (doctoral candidate at the Hertie School of Governance/ Humboldt European Law School).
