Decolonialism and Sociology of Law 1 (Part II)

Wednesday, 9 July 2025: 11:00-12:45
Location: FSE015 (Faculty of Education Sciences (FSE))
RC12 Sociology of Law (host committee)

Language: English

Our sessions emerge from a critical self-reflexivity concerning the disciplinary origins, theories, and orientations associated with the sociology of law, as well as the role of Scandinavian countries as colonial powers, including in the Arctic region involving the Sami peoples. The sessions aim to contribute to decolonization in various forms. Bringing together perspectives from scholars at different career stages, they provide a platform for critical discussion and debate on a range of issues pertinent to decolonizing the sociology of law. This includes examining the role of researchers, positionality, and knowledge production, re-evaluating foundational scholarship in the discipline, and exploring ongoing decolonial practices and processes, including reorienting the relationship of humans with nature in the Anthropocene.
