Winter School "Environment, Law, and Society" 19.03. - 21.03.2025
The Centre Marc Bloch (CMB) and the Integrative Research Institute Law and Society (LSI) of Humboldt University are pleased to invite PhD students to submit abstracts for the International Winter School “Environment, Law, and Society”, which they will host in partnership with the Oxford Centre for Socio-Legal Studies (CSLS). This interdisciplinary event will take place in Berlin from March 19 to March 21, 2025. Gathering early-career researchers from different countries and different disciplines, the Winter School will aim at investigating the complex relationship between nature, society, and law. Engaging with key concepts and contemporary academic debates, it will foster an international dialogue on the socio-legal challenges inherent in the regulation of environmental issues. In so doing, it will offer a cross-cutting approach to research questions surrounding legal systems and societies in their relationship with the environment. Any PhD student interested to take part in the Winter School must send an abstract of their ongoing work (English, 300 words max.) and a short academic CV by December 20 at 12:00 (UTC+1), as a single pdf file to: ertug.tombus@hu-berlin.de
