Critical Legal Talks series
The Critical Legal Talks Series attempts to problematise the law and legal institutions from a critical and interdisciplinary perspective and provide a platform for discussion around global (in)justice for researchers aiming to bridge the Global North/South divide.
The Series is convened by Dr Alexis Alvarez-Nakagawa and co-organised by Queen Mary University of London (the Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences and the School of Law) and the Group of Critical Studies in Politics, Law and Society (PoDeS) at the University of Buenos Aires.
