Law and Diversity in European History -19th Annual Graduate Conference in European History (GRACEH)
Oct. 12, 2024
Place: University of Vienna (Austria) / Zoom
Time: 7 - 9 April 2025
Deadline for Submission of Abstracts: 5 January 2025
GRACEH 2025 offers a platform to
explore the complex interplay between legal systems and the diverse
social fabric of Europe across different historical spaces and periods.
Europe’s rich cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity has shaped
numerous legal traditions, often oscillating between integration and
exclusion. The conference seeks to examine the interaction between legal
structures and social diversity as well as the role of law in promoting
or suppressing diversity from a historical perspective. In this
context, diversity can be understood as the variety of identities,
social groups and cultural backgrounds. It includes among other aspects,
differences in terms of encompassing gender, ethnicity, religion,
sexual orientation, social class and Disabilities.
Proposed
contributions could, for example, deal with the legal challenges and
developments in the area of minority rights. Migration and the legal
measures of integration, as well as DisAbilities and LGBTIQ* are further
central topics. Moreover, questions could revolve around diversity of
the law itself, for example in the context of colonialism,
multinormativity or around spaces of “lawlessness” which offer insights
into normative practices and opportunities outside of the legal system.
A list of suggested topics and further information can be found in the official Call for Papers downloadable below.
