INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE On COMPARATIVE LAW Organized by: Amity Law School, Noida and School of Business & Law, Edith Cowan University [Western Australia] February 19-20, 2021

CONFERENCE 2021: THE THEME

The field of comparative constitutional law has grown immensely over the past couple of decades. Never before has the domain had such a broad range of interdisciplinary interest, with lawyers, political scientists, sociologists and even economists making contributions to our collective understanding of how constitutions are designed and operate. It is imperative to compare the legal structures of different countries in order to draw a better understanding of one’s own legal framework. Subsequently, it also allows improving the understanding of the relationship between the legal, social, political and economic spheres of a country as well as identifying opportunities for legal reforms. The ultimate aim is to deal with the plurality of constitutional rules and to draw attention to similarities and differences in order to create models to explain the values that underpin the constitutional agreements.

Driven by the global spread of democratic government and the expansion of international human rights law, the prominence and visibility of the field has grown exponentially. The use of comparative analysis to express skepticism about judicial power, constitutional design, and the status quo of liberal democracy, by opening up the range of possibilities, is squarely in the best traditions of “comparativism”, and it continues to be much needed. The conference affords an opportunity to legal professionals, learned members of the academia, research scholars and students to explore the various domain comparisons between two or more countries deemed suitable to them with the lone stipulation that India or Australia, must be taken as the basal of comparison.

PhD in Biomedical Optics: Wearable Spectroscopy for Metabolic Neuroimaging

closing date : 3 December 2020

About Us: The Neuro Optics Lab is a new, multidisciplinary research group that operates jointly between the Departments of Physics and Engineering at the University of Cambridge. We develop and validate new optical methods to monitor brain function and metabolism non-invasively. The lab currently focusses on near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-based methods to perform in-vivo monitoring of metabolic markers such as haemoglobin oxygenation, mitochondrial function and blood flow. We are interested in pioneering tools and techniques to monitor relevant physiology for both basic science and medical applications. Our work is highly translational and we work closely with clinical partners in Addenbrooke’s Hospital to deliver technologies that progress medical therapeutics.

Project Description: NIRS is a prominent tool for functional brain imaging in situations where traditional neuroimaging (e.g. fMRI) isn’t possible, such as intensive care or in the community. Our lab develops broadband spectroscopy techniques to perform metabolic monitoring with NIRS. This has unique applications in brain injury, autism and dementia. To facilitate the translation of these tools into the clinic, devices need to be developed to cover the whole brain that are non-invasive and wearable, to perform metabolic imaging where is it most needed. The successful candidate will test and develop novel technological solutions to perform wearable broadband spectroscopy. These solutions could range from those developed in-house, existing equipment within our laboratories, or with industry. On successful demonstration of wearable single-channel on-head spectroscopy, they will pursue the development of a multichannel system for whole-head metabolic imaging. This project will involve creating new computational methods alongside experimental optics to achieve diffuse optical imaging of cerebral metabolic function. These devices will be validated with test objects which mimic biological optical properties and on healthy human volunteers.

This project is in collaboration with the Dr Sarah Bohndiek (VISIONLab, bohndieklab.org) in the Department of Physics.

This system will ultimately be deployed in the Addenbrooke’s Hospital to investigate optical metabolic biomarkers of dementia with Prof John O’Brien, Department of Psychiatry.

Desirable Skills: A background in optics/photonics and experience with programming (MATLAB, Python, etc.) would be advantageous. The candidate must have (or expect to obtain) a 1st or 2:1 degree in physics, engineering, or a related subject. Candidates with previous industrial or academic research experience and a strong interest in the project will also be considered. We value a candidate with the desire to learn, create and innovate.

The successful candidate will have a strong interest in optical technologies and experimental work. They should: enjoy working at the interface between different disciplines; be keen to take the initiative with independent creativity and problem solving; and exhibit strong motivation toward the project. In addition, they will require: excellent oral and written communication skills; good team working skills; and a strong critical thinking capability. Examples of any past experience that demonstrates these characteristics should be highlighted in the cover letter that accompanies any application. We expect the candidate will develop into an independent experimental researcher and will present their work in academic journals and conferences.

Further Information: Interest in or requests for more information about the project should be made to Dr Gemma Bale (gmb49@cam.ac.uk) and Prof Sarah Bohndiek (seb53@cam.ac.uk) with the subject line “Wearable Spectroscopy PhD” before application to the University.

This 3.5-year studentship will cover home level University fees and a maintenance allowance.

Applications should be submitted via the University of Cambridge Applicant Portal www.graduate.study.cam.ac.uk/courses/directory/egegpdpeg, with Dr Gemma Bale identified as the potential supervisor.

This is a four-year (1+3 MRes/PhD) studentship funded through the Cambridge EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Future Infrastructure and Built Environment: Resilience in a Changing World (FIBE2 CDT). The FIBE2 CDT aims to develop the next generation of infrastructure professionals who can create, shape and deliver the national vision for UK infrastructure, who will be equipped with a versatile and cross-disciplinary skill set to meet the most complex emerging challenges and contribute effectively to better infrastructure decision-making in the UK. Further details can be found at https://www.fibe-cdt.eng.cam.ac.uk/

The project is funded in collaboration with AVEVA, a Global Leader in Industrial Software that deliver solutions and expertise to optimize engineering, operations and performance supporting the evolution of the industries and BP, a company that provide heat, light and mobility to customers all over the world, with a purpose to reimagine energy for people and the planet and an ambition to be a net zero company by 2050 or sooner.

Project details: Several companies have recently announced pledges to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Achieving this target will require profound changes in the design and operation of assets. Yet, currently there is little awareness about the greenhouse gas emissions implications from infrastructure design choices that take into consideration materials, fabrication and uncertainties related to how digital technology will impact operations and decommissioning. To what extent can design choices about industrial infrastructure influence future operational emissions? Which parameters should be considered and which should carry the highest weight in decision-making? What trade-offs exist between design for operability and design for minimal emissions?

This project will explore these questions and it has the following research objectives: 1. Compare the relative importance of the various stages of the life cycle of assets in terms of key economic and environmental variables. 2. Explore the impact of alternative interventions in the design, location, operation, material choice, and timeline of deployment in terms of emissions and costs. 3. Explore how design and operation of infrastructure influence the achievement of climate targets. 4. Develop a dynamic tool to assess the whole system impacts of design and operation choices of large scale energy assets. 5. Prioritise interventions and recommendations of future practices for specific case studies.

Informal enquires about this post can be made to Dr André Cabrera Serrenho (ag806@cam.ac.uk).

For general enquiries, please email cdtcivil-courseadmin@eng.cam.ac.uk.

Dr Maike de la Roche wishes to appoint a student to work on the project entitled: Hedgehog signalling in unconventional T cells. For further information about the research group, including their most recent publications, please visit their website: https://www.cruk.cam.ac.uk/research-groups/de-la-roche-group

Project description: γδ T cells are unconventional T cells that combine adaptive features with rapid innate-like functions and can have striking anti-tumour effects – mainly due to their extensive cytotoxic capacity and IFN- γ production. However, tumour-promoting roles of the IL-17-producing γδ T cell subsets have recently emerged. Signalling pathways regulating these two very different subsets of γδ T cells are poorly understood.

The Hedgehog (Hh) signalling pathway has important roles during embryonic development and adult tissue maintenance. Our lab has found that cell-intrinsic Hh signalling is important for CD8 T cell killing. Whether Hh signalling is critical for the function of γδ T cells is not known. This project aims to elucidate how Hh signalling is orchestrated in γδ T cells and influences their development throughout the anti-tumour response in vivo.

The research project will involve the use of in vivo models, culture and genetic manipulation of primary immune cells, live cell imaging approaches, RNA-Sequencing, quantitative proteomics, FACS as well as basic cell biology and biochemistry.

Qualifications/skills: The ideal candidate would have a solid knowledge of immunology and experience in one or more of the areas mentioned above. He or she would be highly motivated to drive an independent research project.

Dr Pau Creixell wishes to appoint a student to work on the project entitled: From molecular recognition to drug design: Deeply exploring and characterizing molecular pockets to overcome drug resistance.

For further information about the research group, including their most recent publications, please visit their website: https://www.cruk.cam.ac.uk/research-groups/creixell-group

Project description: Our newly established lab combines machine learning approaches with high-throughput biochemistry to study how proteins recognise their substrates, how cancer could perturb this process, and how to find highly selective drugs to overcome drug resistance in cancers.

Aberrant protein kinase-driven signaling causally contributes to cancer and, in consequence, protein kinases are major targets for cancer therapeutics. Therapeutic efforts have traditionally focused on targeting the ATP-binding pocket of protein kinases, however, these drugs often must be used in high concentrations to outcompete ATP, have low specificity, and the proteins often develop resistance. In this project, by deeply studying and characterizing the substrate binding pocket with novel peptide display technology we have developed combined with machine learning and computational modelling, we will work towards developing high-specificity drugs that avoid the common and well-known mechanisms of drug resistance.

PhD Studentship – High dimensional tissue imaging to track genomic selection by immune predation in situ in breast cancer

Deadline: The closing date for applications is 15 November 2020, with interviews expected to take place in December/January.

Dr Raza Ali wishes to appoint a student to work on the project entitled: High dimensional tissue imaging to track genomic selection by immune predation in situ in breast cancer.
For further information about the research group, including their most recent publications, please visit their website: https://www.cruk.cam.ac.uk/research-groups/Ali-group

Project description: The repertoire and spatial localisation of tumour infiltrating leukocytes impact breast cancer outcomes (reference 1). Early trials also indicate that some patients with triple-negative breast cancer stand to benefit from immunotherapies (references 2,3). But which patients benefit and what mechanisms underpin resistance are not known. Tumour evolution is driven by ongoing somatic mutation. There is evidence that predation by the immune response selects for fitter genomic clones able to effect immune escape (e.g. by gain of CD274 [PD-L1] (references 4,5)). But when immune selection takes place during the trajectory of disease progression is not known. Similarly, it is not clear whether this process shows spatial variation, which would lead to regional purifying selection with implications for disease dissemination and immunotherapy response. We use high-dimensional imaging (imaging mass cytometry [IMC]) to study the dynamic ecosystems of breast tumours (reference 5). This project will aim to develop these techniques to answer the following: (1) Can genomic clones be reliably identified in situ? (2) Is spatial clonal enrichment explained by the local tumour-immune microenvironment? (3) If so, when during the process of disease progression does immune selection occur? To address these questions, the student will develop highly multiplexed composite RNA/protein IMC assays (reference 6) for application to patient breast tumour tissues, and use sophisticated image analysis techniques and computational biology to arrive at quantitative conclusions.

EPSRC FIBE2 CDT PhD studentship with AVEVA and BP: Digitising Industrial Facilities @ universirty of cambridge , uk

This is a four-year (1+3 MRes/PhD) studentship funded through the Cambridge EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Future Infrastructure and Built Environment: Resilience in a Changing World (FIBE2 CDT). The FIBE2 CDT aims to develop the next generation of infrastructure professionals who can create, shape and deliver the national vision for UK infrastructure, who will be equipped with a versatile and cross-disciplinary skill set to meet the most complex emerging challenges and contribute effectively to better infrastructure decision-making in the UK. Further details can be found at https://www.fibe-cdt.eng.cam.ac.uk/

The project is funded in collaboration with AVEVA, a Global Leader in Industrial Software that deliver solutions and expertise to optimize engineering, operations and performance supporting the evolution of the industries and BP, a company that provide heat, light and mobility to customers all over the world, with a purpose to reimagine energy for people and the planet and an ambition to be a net zero company by 2050 or sooner.

Project Details: There is a growing awareness that industrial facility owners are managing very expensive and complex facilities with data that is too little or too outdated but most of all not integrated. This leads to suboptimal facility design, construction and operation. The Digital Twin concept offers a theoretically viable solution to this problem. However, we currently do not know (i) how to structure an industrial facility Digital Twin or (ii) how to cost-effectively construct and maintain it. This project aims to address these two knowledge gaps.

The Digitising Industrial Facilities project will focus on geometry and visual data of large scale energy assets to maintain feasibility. In this project, the student will: a) collaborate with the FIBE2 Partners and the Centre for Digital Built Britain (CDBB) to conduct a user requirements analysis for the purpose of deriving a geometric Digital Twin data structure; b) develop a matching method for comparing captured data with the geometric digital twin to construct and maintain it; c) if time allows, develop a data fusion method for linking other forms of data into the geometric digital twin.

Informal enquires about this post can be made to Dr Ioannis Brilakis (ib340@cam.ac.uk ).

For general enquiries, please email cdtcivil-courseadmin@eng.cam.ac.uk.

Applicants should have (or expect to obtain by the start date) at least a good 2.1 degree in a Bachelors or Masters in any engineering or computer science. They should have some computing skills or experience, and very good English language skills.

News-Bangladesh Cabinet Approves Death Penalty For Rape Convicts After Nationwide Outrage.

Bangladesh’s cabinet has approved the proposal to increase the maximum punishment in rape cases to death from life imprisonment after widespread anger across the country due to a rise in sexual assaults. The in-principle approval was reportedly given at a cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

“Bangladesh Law Minister Anisul Huq told reporters that the proposed law stipulates that “the maximum punishment is death penalty for the sex offenders.” Bangladeshi President Abdul Hamid is expected to promulgate an ordinance, amending the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act, on October 13 to enact the increased punishment for rapists.”

Currently, capital punishment in rape cases can be sought only if the victim dies after the assault. A series of violent sexual attacks in Bangladesh triggered protests in Dhaka and other major cities, demanding strong action against perpetrators. Local women’s rights group Ain-o-Salish Kendra (ASK) said that 975 rapes, including at least 208 gang rapes, occurred between January and September. As many as 43 of the rape victims died after an aggravated assault and 12 committed suicide, the rights group says on its website.

Call for Papers: Young European Law Scholars Conference

Deadline: 10/15/20

Event Date: 05/20/21 to 05/21/21

Location name: University of Zurich

Organization: 

European Society of International Law

4th Young European Law Scholars Conference

Back to Beginnings: Revisiting the Preambles of European Treaties Call for Papers

The 4th annual Young European Law Scholars Conference (YELS) will be held on Thursday 20 and Friday 21 May, 2021, at the University of Zurich. The conference is organised in cooperation with the University of Zurich and the Liechtenstein Institute, and sponsored by the European Society of International Law. We invite young European law scholars (i.e. scholars who have not yet secured a full professorship) to contribute to an academic debate on the topic ‘Back to Beginnings: Revisiting the Preambles of European Treaties’. All scholars whose papers have been selected will be given the opportunity to present their work, and to receive feedback from a distinguished senior European law scholar.

Topic

In recent years, discussions about the crises in, and the future of, Europe have been at the centre of European legal studies. Instead of revisiting these well-researched topics, it seems appropriate to take a step back and focus on the beginnings of European treaties — namely on their preambles. International treaties are commonly preceded by a preamble. European treaties, such as the Treaty on European Union (‘TEU’), the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (‘TFEU’), the EEA Agreement, the bilateral agreements between Switzerland and the EU, as well as the European Convention on Human Rights (‘ECHR’), and the European Social Charter are no exception in this regard. The planned framework agreement between the EU and Switzerland and the future agreement between the EU and UK will, too, most likely be preceded by a preamble. Preambles are usually highly indeterminate, refer to a range of values and ideals, and do not establish concrete rights and obligations. Nevertheless, according to Article 31(2) of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, the preamble forms an integral part of the treaty and must be used in the interpretation of its provisions. The recitals of the preamble reveal both the telos of the treaty and the historical motives of the contracting parties. They set out intentions which have led the parties to conclude the respective treaty, and they provide information on the context out of which the treaty arose. In short, the preamble at the beginning of a treaty defines its purpose and must therefore be given due consideration in legal practice and legal scholarship. In light of the above, we invite young European law scholars to revisit the preambles of European treaties: Which missions do the preambles contain? Have the treaties lived up to what they promise in their preambles? Are Member States and international/supranational organizations on the right track to achieve the set objectives? Are preambles largely aspirational – and potentially empty – phrases? What is the significance of the changes that have been made to the preambles over time, e.g. to the Treaties of the European Union (or before the European Community) or to the ECHR? Do the preambles have to be changed to meet the new challenges of our time?

These questions can be answered in light of all European treaties and the wide range of objectives their preambles set out for their signatories, such as (but not limited to):

⎯ “confirming their attachment to the principles of liberty, democracy and respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms and of the rule of law” [TEU];

⎯ “affirming as the essential objective of their efforts the constant improvements of the living and working conditions of their peoples” [TFEU];

⎯ “considering the objective of establishing a dynamic and homogeneous European Economic Area, based on common rules and equal conditions of competition and providing for the adequate means of enforcement including at the judicial level” [EEA Agreement];

⎯ “affirming that the High Contracting Parties, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, have the primary responsibility to secure the rights and freedoms defined in this Convention and the Protocols thereto, and that in doing so they enjoy a margin of appreciation, subject to the supervisory jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights established by this Convention” [new recital of the ECHR according to Protocol No 15];

⎯ “being resolved to make every effort in common to improve the standard of living and to promote the social well-being of both their urban and rural populations by means of appropriate institutions and action” [European Social Charter].

Submission

We invite young European law scholars to submit (1) an anonymised abstract (max. 600 words) and (2) a short CV by 15 October 2020 to yels2021@rwi.uzh.ch on any aspect of the overall topic. Contributions shall be submitted and presented in English. Applicants will be informed about the outcome of the selection process no later than 15 November 2020. If successfully selected, full papers (8,000-10,000 words, including footnotes) must then be submitted by 31 March 2021 for circulation among commentators and registered conference members. After the conference, we propose to publish a revised version of the papers, adequately taking into account the feedback received from the commentators and participants.

Conference program

The conference will take place on Thursday afternoon, 20 May 2021, and the full day on Friday, 21 May 2021. Participants will present their papers in thematic panels and receive individual feedback by senior European law scholars, followed by a plenary discussion. We are also happy to announce that on Thursday evening, Professor Juliane Kokott, Advocate General at the European Court of Justice, will give a keynote speech on the overall topic of the conference. The conference organizers plan to reimburse the travel and accommodation expenses incurred by the conference participants presenting a paper, although no guarantee can yet be provided at this stage.

Call for Papers: Migration and Culture: Implementation of Cultural Rights of Migrants

Deadline: 

10/15/20

Deadline for the submission of abstracts: 15 October 2020 

Deadline for the submission of accepted papers: 15 February 2021 

Publication of the Volume: June-July 2021 

edited by Giovanni Carlo Bruno (National Research Council of Italy), Fulvio Maria Palombino (University of Naples “Federico II”), Adriana Di Stefano (University of Catania), Gianpaolo Maria Ruotolo (University of Foggia) 

The volume aims at contributing to the reflection on global cooperation in the promotion of cultural rights of migrants, including the right to participate in cultural life and to enjoy the arts, in the context of the post- COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. 

Article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 15 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights provide a basic legal framework for their protection and guarantee. As affirmed repeatedly, cultural diversity is a source of mutual enrichment for the cultural life of humankind. The full realization and recognition of cultural rights should be based on the prin- ciples of equality and non-discrimination. But the challenge to ensure cultural rights as being appli- cable to everyone is far from being won, notably when cultural rights of migrants are involved. 

The volume aims at exploring questions connected to international cultural rights and human migra- tion. Legal and judicial practice on the application of internationally recognized cultural rights, and both institutional and civil society activities on the promotion and protection of migrants’ cultural rights may contribute to the ‘mainstreaming’ of cultural rights and of their implementation in the society in change, even in the social and legal context emerging from the consequences of the COVID-10 pandemic. 

Contributions can cover, inter alia, the following areas: 

– The use of cultural rights for enhancing the integration of migrant communities; – The building of an inclusive society, through the promotion of cultural rights of migrants; – Equality and non-discrimination in the enjoyment of cultural rights; – The protection of the cultural identities of migrants; – Gender perspectives in the promotion of cultural rights; – The use of public spaces for the promotion of cultural rights; – The right of migrant communities to hold cultural, artistic and intercultural events; – Cultural components in the protection of the freedom of expression; – Inter-cultural practices within International Organizations. 

The call for papers aims to offer an opportunity for experts, scholars and policy makers, for a critical review of the national and international practice on cultural rights of migrants. 

The Institute for Research on Innovation and Services for Development of the National Research Council of Italy, the Department of Law of the University of Naples “Federico II”, the Department of Law of the University of Catania, and the Department of Law of the University of Foggia are working jointly on migration issues. 

Abstracts of no more than 500 words, written in English or French and including the author’s name and an e-mail address, should be submitted to: migrationandevelopment@gmail.com . 

A one-page curriculum vitae should be attached to the abstract. 

The deadline for submission of abstracts is 15 October 2020. 

Successful applicants will be notified via e-mail by 30 October 2020 and are expected to produce the final paper (8000-10000 words approx.) by 15 February 2021. 

Papers will be peer-reviewed before final acceptance for publication in an open-access volume, to be published by June-July 2021.

1. Subject-Matter of Workshop 

Following the success of the previous workshops (see here), the Minerva Center for RLEC is 

planning a fourth young researcher’s workshop in June 2021. Papers are welcomed on 

theoretical or practical legal issues related to “Human Enhancement and Advanced 

Technologies in Terrorism and Belligerencies” from varied perspectives, such as: history, 

philosophy, sociology, geography, technology, economics, and politics. 

Human enhancement and advanced technologies have already had significant effects over the framework of terrorism and belligerency, and these effects are expected to increase rapidly in the coming years. Such effects include internal and external mechanisms such as computerized exoskeleton, advanced prostheses, and cognitive advancement. 

The workshop focusses on the framework of “human enhancement and advanced technologies” technological, comparative, doctrinal, historical, philosophical, sociological and theoretical perspectives. A non-exhaustive list of possible subjects includes: 

• Ethical and moral considerations of human enhancements. 

• International law applicable to dealing with human enhancement and advanced technologies. 

• Technological abilities and challenges with human enhancement. 

• The implications of the use of advanced technologies in the battlefield or for counter- terrorism purposes. 

2. Purpose of Workshop 

The purpose of this workshop is to convene a group of scholars for a discussions on human enhancement and advanced technologies and their relation to law and policy regarding terrorism / belligerency. This workshop will offer participants a balanced combination of rigorous scholarly discussion and more relaxed social interaction. 

3. Structure of Workshop 

The workshop will feature twelve papers selected through this call from Israel and abroad. The workshop will be held over a two weeks period; participants from abroad will be offered residency in the university dormitories (see COVID-19 notice below). 

Workshop Sessions: The participants will convene 2-3 times a week for full day sessions of presentations and discussions. During each session, selected participants will present their papers to the workshop group (apx. 20-30 minutes). Senior researchers and practitioners will be invited to the sessions to provide feedback, as well as a weekly keynote presentation. 

Following each presentation there will be an open discussion among participants. 

Field trip: The participants will be invited for field trips which include planned visits to relevant locations and institutions (such as the Israeli Supreme Court, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ofer Military Court, and the security fence) where they will meet with experts and practitioners dealing with issues relating to terrorism and belligerency. 

COVID-19 Notice: In a case where, due to travel restrictions, we will be unable to hold the event in Haifa, the organizers will provide an online alternative. However, the organizers believe that there is a great value in holding the workshop in-person and therefore, priority will be given to applicants planning to travel to Haifa and attend all sessions. 

4. Respondents and Guest speakers

The respondent will provide the young researcher with thorough and productive feedback following the presentation of his/her paper.

CFP: Young Scholars in Public International Law (AjV) and the German Society of International Law (German Society for International Law – DGIR)

About CFP

The Working Group of Young Scholars in Public International Law (AjV) and the German Society of International Law (German Society for International Law – DGIR) invite contributions to their joint conference titled “Jurisdiction: Who speaks international law?“

About the Journal:

Jurisdiction endows an actor with the authority to provide binding answers to legal questions. Etymological observations reveal that an analysis of legal validity necessarily requires grasping the notion of jurisdiction. After all, the Latin roots of the term ‘jurisdiction’ – juris dicere – can be translated as ‘speaking the law’. In international law, the notion of jurisdiction serves to delimit international and domestic spheres of competence. Traditionally tied to territorial sovereignty, jurisdiction refers to the legislative, judicial, and executive power of the state bindingly to determine who speaks in the name of the law – and about whom is (merely) spoken. Against this backdrop, the link between jurisdiction and territorial sovereignty needs to be re-examined.

Several questions arise regarding the theoretical and historical underpinnings of the notion of jurisdiction: Who is given the power to speak in international law and who is not? How can rules that are generally considered to be ‘non-binding’ exert their influence on jurisdiction? How do actors located in the Global South approach the notion of jurisdiction? What is the role of jurisdiction in shaping the idea and self-description of International Law as a discipline? Do we have to rethink or abandon the conceptual link between sovereignty and jurisdiction? Is there an essential and unifying element that links the different conceptions of jurisdiction?

Interdisciplinary engagements can provide a more nuanced understanding of jurisdiction: How can accounts not linked to the state help us understand contemporary conflicts of jurisdiction? Which historical circumstances have shaped the notion of jurisdiction? Which (dis) continuities does the history of the idea of ​​jurisdiction reveal? Are questions of jurisdiction always questions of power? How do socio-cultural circumstances inform diverging notions of jurisdiction? How can critical approaches sharpen our understanding of the notion of jurisdiction?

How has private international law dealt with conflicts of jurisdiction and ‘forum-shopping’? What is the relationship between sovereignty and state or diplomatic immunity? How do digital spaces challenge existing notions of jurisdiction? Do we need a new concept of jurisdiction for cyber warfare and for space law? What is the role of the notion of jurisdiction in shaping the relationship between humans and their natural environment? How do rival notions of jurisdiction affect the access to justice regarding human rights violations at the borders of Europe? How can the conflict between the German Federal Constitutional Court and the European Court of Justice be analyzed through the lens of jurisdiction? What are the causes of the criticism leveled against the International Criminal Court’s interpretation and exercise of its jurisdiction?

We invite submissions contemplating these and other questions and hope to cover a broad range of international law topics, including public international law, private international law, and European law. We welcome all theoretical approaches and methods and explicitly invite doctrinal work as well as interdisciplinary, discourse theoretical, historical, philosophical, and critical approaches.

Submission Guidelines:

• Abstract should not be more than 500 word
• Language can be German or English
• abstract should be submitted via application form only
• Deadline for submission of Abstract: 8 January 2021
• Notification of Acceptance: 31 January 2021
• Deadline for full paper submission: 1 June 2021 (max. 7000 words)

Knight-Hennessy Scholars Program at Stanford University| Apply by October 14, 2020

One Cohort With Many Backgrounds

Your fellow Knight-Hennessy Scholars will join Stanford from colleges and universities throughout the world, from a wide array of disciplines and professional experiences, and with a breadth of background, belief, and aspiration. This is a multifaceted community united by your curiosity and intellectual vitality, shared potential for leadership, and your humility and kindness.

---

Graduate Students at Stanford

Nearly 3,000 compelling graduate students enroll at Stanford annually. Next year, up to 80 (growing to 100 over time) will be Knight-Hennessy Scholars. Knight-Hennessy Scholars span all seven schools at Stanford. If you become a Knight-Hennessy Scholar, you’ll be in good company.

All Knight-Hennessy Scholars have to apply to and be accepted by a graduate program at Stanford at the same time they apply to Knight-Hennessy Scholars. Your graduate program will be your primary affiliation, and the Knight-Hennessy Scholars program will provide you with access to an additional community and opportunities tailored to scholars.

To be a Knight-Hennessy Scholar, you submit two applications:

• Knight-Hennessy Scholars online application
• Stanford graduate program application (Deadline will vary by program.)

We can select you as a Knight-Hennessy Scholar only if a graduate program admits you to Stanford. The graduate program, however, may admit you to Stanford even if you are not selected as a Knight-Hennessy Scholar.

Submitting Your Graduate Program Application

You should check each graduate program’s website for a sense of what it seeks in candidates. You must meet the requirements for admission to your home graduate program.

Review of Applications are done separately but in parallel

The Knight-Hennessy Scholars program communicates regularly with each graduate program throughout the admission process to ensure that we are designating as Knight-Hennessy Scholars only those applicants who each program has determined are among its best.

We review your Knight-Hennessy Scholars application. The graduate program reviews your application to that program. These two reviews take place separately. After reviewing your Knight-Hennessy Scholars application, we share our review with your graduate program. That program also gives input to the Knight-Hennessy Scholars program.
