Law, History and Visual Culture Seminar Series

Every Thursday online from 26th May to 23rd June, 3:00-6:30 pm BST 

 

This five part seminar series encourages and facilitates the growing interest in the interdisciplinary field of law, history and visual culture. As such, these reflections break away from the traditional view of law as an image-less, a text-based discourse.  Registration for each event can be found in the links below:
