Lecture Series: Method, methodology and critique in international law (Asser Institute)

Starting on 16 December 2020, the T.M.C. Asser Institute will organize a (digital) lecture series on Method, Methodology and Critique in International Law. The aim of the program is to explore the many methodological "turns" the discipline of international law has taken and to think together about the theoretical commitments these entail, the crafts they demand and the modes of critique they enable.

You can find the description and program of the initiative here. If you would like to receive details on future workshops in this series, you can register here.
