What is the good of law?
Law is everywhere in our lives. This event asks what is the good of law? Which law, whose law, made when? Who speaks to law, for law and against it?
Law opens space for justice claims. And law closes justice down. Whether for Indigenous sovereignty and self-determination or women seeking to be free from violence, law is all over.
This event brings together voices and experiences that offer perspective and passion about the law. These are critical Indigenous voices reclaiming ancient rites/rights as well as equally critical users of law. Speakers imagine other ways of seeing law and other ways of using law.
Introduced and chaired by Associate Professor Narelle Bedford (Bond University) with Associate Professor Nicole Watson and closed by Professor Heather Douglas (Melbourne University), a panel of speakers turn law over.
Speakers include:
Eddie Synot (Griffith Law School)
Keryn Ruska (Caxton Law Centre)
Dr Debbie Bargallie (Griffith Institute for Educational Research)
Proceedings will conclude with the formal launch of ground-breaking new books, Indigenous Legal Judgements: Bringing Indigenous Voices into Judicial Decision-Making, edited by Nicole Watson and Heather Douglas (Routledge, 2021) and Women, Intimate Partner Violence, and the Law by Heather Douglas (Oxford University Press, 2021)
