  Reframing Sociolegal Contexts: law in more-than-human worlds

  Sociolegal scholars challenge the assumptions within law and the way it is structured to support a particular social order and value system. But rarely have sociolegal scholars questioned the re-lationship law structures between humans and more-than-human worlds. Since early colonialism, this relationship has been built on a human-nature divide and an exploitative relationship of pos-session and extractivism. Today, this relationship has culminated in human-driven climate change, catastrophic fires and floods, and the looming extinction of multiple species including the human. This talk seeks to reframe sociolegal contexts to better recognize and include what has always been present – law’s relations with more-than-human worlds. I ask why sociolegal scholars have overlooked this field of legal relations, what this oversight suggests about the limits of sociolegal scholarship, and how could we reframe our research to ensure its future relevance in the context of ecological crisis

  Sociology of Law is an established science with its founding scholars, strong traditions and histories, canonical knowledge, intellectual heresies, and very dynamic recent developments. This event will discuss the process of editing a research handbook on the Sociology of Law, especially connecting its origins and genealogy with current state and future ambitions. It will also identify the sociology of law's subjects, basic concepts, methods and methodologies, specialisations, and contexts.
