Workshop on Law, Culture, and Inclusion/Exclusion

The Sociology of Law section of the American Sociology Association is convening a one-day conference at McGill's Faculty of Law.  This workshop is being held in advance of the 2017 American Sociological Association annual meeting in Montreal, taking place August 12-15, 2017. 

Organized around the theme of “Law, Culture, and Inclusion/Exclusion,” this workshop is designed to provide intensive engagement with socio-legal scholars’ research examining the cultural role, processes, and politics of law or the legal elements of culture that result in exclusion and inclusion.

Panel themes include a focus on law, citizenship, and immigration; legal construction of rights related to gender and sexuality; legal constraints on state power; and the cultural politics of law and courts. If you have any questions, please email Professor Joe Conti at jconti [at] wisc.edu.
