In 2023, we are exploring texts that consider relationships between law and the inhuman, law in/as nature, and more-than-human communities and relations.
Our focus for this week will be: Karen Barad, ‘Spacetime Re(con)figurings: Naturalcultural Forces and Changing Topologies of Power’ in Meeting the Universe Halfway: Quantum Physics and the Entanglement of Matter and Meaning (2007).
We are associated with and share common intellectual and activist pursuits with the La Trobe Climate Network.
The group is co-convened by Roanna McClelland and Dr Kathleen Birrell. We meet fortnightly, online.
Please email rmcclelland@student.unimelb.edu.au to RSVP and for access to reading resources.
In Semester 1 2023, our readings include a focus on the work of Professor Margaret Davies, in anticipation of a Workshop and Masterclass at La Trobe Law School on 20-21 July 2023. Stay tuned for details.
