Empires. Plural. Across time and across the globe,
interconnected, mutually constitutive. We invite papers which consider the interconnections
and the legal relations between empires. The conference will particularly focus
on the role played by law (broadly defined) in facilitating, constituting, and
enabling these connections; on the people of law who moved between these
places; and the institutions which bound them together. How might we map
Empires through these connections? How do we now conceptualise such movement, and
are there new ways in which we could envisage legal interchange across time and
place? Of particular interest are the connections between places with very
different legal systems and traditions. How can we better bring together the
efforts of historians working in different legal traditions? In this third
Legal Histories of Empires conference we hope to more deeply uncover the legal
threads that bound different empires, places, laws and legal traditions across
the globe.
