Law and/in Society (2nd edition)

Presentation

This course, organized by Centre for Social Studies in collaboration with the PhD program in “Law, Justice and Citizenship in the 21st century”, is intended to be a theoretical, epistemological, methodological and interdisciplinary dialogue on a plurality of perspectives and experiences of law, justice and citizenship lived in various geographies. After the first edition “Law and/in Society – Access to Law and Justice”, in this second edition the course aggregates lectures, debates and a study visit on a common theme "Crime and/in Society: Rule of Law and Exception", in an interdisciplinary, broad and innovative perspective.

Divided in 5 modules, this course aims to promote the analysis and debate within the common theme through a plurality of theoretical and empirical reflections on the theoretical perspectives of crime in society, the Rule of Law, the exception and the temptation of the “penal rule”, and the relation between human rights and crime, with a specific focus on in the relations between immigration and crime, human trafficking and gender violence.

The course will have three daily sessions of two hours each. In the last day of the course, there will be thematic workshops, followed by a final discussion with participation of teachers and participants.
