Legal subjects, bodies and space

Profile area In this research theme, we organize around a multifaceted and interdisciplinary understanding of law, its boundaries, relationships and meaning. 

Research interests entail law as an arena for in-/exclusion, what subjects that are given place and space within legal discourse and how different understandings of bodies and space challenge dominant understandings of laws’ coming into being. 

The research conducted within the theme ranges over many different areas of law, including (but not excluded to) topics such as legal theory, legal history, corporate law, family law, tax law, feminist legal studies, human rights law and sports law.  

What unites the researchers within the theme is the use of critical theoretical approaches and perspectives such as feminist, queer, post-colonial and new materialist/posthumanist theories. Finally, the researchers affiliated gather around a shared interest in interdisciplinary research, as well as wide-ranging methodological commitments traversing traditional doctrinal studies.
