RC12 Sociology of Law (host committee)

Language: English

Session Type: Oral


Over the past twenty years, the study of law and globalization has grown into a mature field with a variety of empirically grounded theoretical understandings of (trans)national legal fields and orderings. Yet, despite the dynamics of legal pluralism and the ripple effects of legal transplants and transformations, there have been theoretical and ideological calls to challenge globalization as a dynamic whose forces of homogenization – and resistance – are led from, and directed against a diffuse conception of the Global North. Our project takes stock of these debates and dynamics of change to ask: what can we see when we shift the lens from known and usual understandings of legal globalization towards lesser understood and apparently invisible processes? This session will deal with invisible institutions and migration, with a focus on migrant women and their socio-legal issues (deskilling, cultural homogenization, women's multiple marginalities).
