Registration for the event titled “Decolonizing Space in the Global East – Legal Choices, Political Transformations, Carceral Practices” is available at Early Bird rate until August 31.
As the name suggests, this year’s conference programme is centered around three main topics: political transformations within and between the countries of the Global East, the countries’ legal choices and the factors that have influenced them and the choices behind the carceral practices in the countries.
The conference guests will be provided access to over 250 academic papers presented in dozens of panels and round table sessions with a variety of subjects including knowledge production, memory politics, geopolitics, international legal order, economic interests and economical actions, elections, surveillance, resistance and solidarity, and many more.
