3. Sydney Law School Postgraduate Students Conference 2010
Date: Friday 29 October, 2010
Time: 9 am – 6:30 pm
Venue: Sydney Law School, New Law School Building,
Eastern Avenue, University of Sydney
(Camperdown Campus)
Emerging social, environment and economic issues create complex issues for legal scholars to investigate. How do we undertake successful law reform? How are legal developments translated into social change? What are the consequences of law’s application to problems such as climate change, human rights abuses and economic reform?
Sydney Law School invites post-graduate research students in law and associated disciplines in the social sciences and humanities to present on these and related issues, particularly:
Law reform in response to new social, environment and economic issues
The differences between ‘law-in-books’ and ‘law-in-action’
The consequences of law’s application to social problems
Law and the social sciences, empirical research or social theory
Social justice and the law
This is an opportunity to experience Sydney Law School in its new state-of-the-art facilities, to hear presentations on the thesis research process and participate in discussions on critical research questions.
