Workshop: Socio-legal Studies and Disaster: Cross-National and Cross-Disciplinary Conversations

本次研讨会将汇集来自目前两个独立研究领域——社会法律研究和灾难研究——的跨学科和跨国学者，在不久的将来，从这两个研究领域的交叉点出发，制定一个新的更复杂的研究议程。参加研讨会的学者将致力于为自然灾害和人为灾害对风险归因和责任的影响的新知识方向奠定基础；现行规则的适用；引入新的规范和规则；新的政府机构的发展；并重新建构社会对身份、责任、权利和法律作用的认识。与扩大这些领域的国际合作的目标一致，拟议的讲习班的地点是西班牙奥纳提的奥纳提国际法律社会学研究所。研讨会将促进来自不同学科的国际学者之间的交流与合作。它也有可能在目前不同的研究领域开创一条新的、潜在的变革性研究路线。

This workshop will bring together a cross-disciplinary and cross-national set of scholars from two currently separate fields of study -- socio-legal studies and disaster studies -- to develop a new more sophisticated research agenda in the near future that draws from the intersections of these two areas of study. Scholars at the workshop will work to develop the basis for new intellectual directions in the impact of natural and man-made disasters on the attribution of risk and blame; the application of existing rules; the introduction of new norms and rules; the development of new governmental institutions; and the re-constitution of the social understanding of identity, responsibility, rights and the role of law. Consistent with the goal of expanding international collaboration in these fields, the site for the proposed workshop is the Onati International Institute for the Sociology of Law in Onati, Spain.The workshop will foster exchange and collaboration among a range of international scholars from a variety of disciplines. It also has the potential to initiate a new and potentially transformative line of research in currently disparate areas of research.
