2023 sees the launch of a new joint-lecture series between ACIL and the Research Centre on Risk & Law C3RD at the Université Catholique Lille. The Series will be inquiring into the emergence of a new scholarly field revolving around ‘International Law and Technology’ with its theoretical and methodological approaches, its assumptions and preoccupations and new modes of working across disciplines. It will bring together leading scholars in international law, international relations and legal theory to present their work and discuss the implications of an ever increasing digitization of socio-economic life.

Digital Technologies are changing the modes in which law and governance operate, opening up toward new perspectives on normativity. How to think the relationship between international law and technology and its implications for normativity? What are the topologies of normativity that these terms connote? What must legal reasoning become to better attend to techno-legal assemblages? These questions are leading to the emergence of a new scholarly field revolving around ‘international law and technology’ with new theoretical and methodological approaches, new assumptions and preoccupations and new modes of working across disciplines. In this lecture series we bring together leading scholars in international law, international relations and legal theory to present their work and discuss the implications of an ever increasing digitization of socio-economic life.

The lecture series is held on Mondays from 15.30-17.00 every three weeks alternating between the University of Amsterdam and the Université Catholique de Lille Paris Campus. All lectures will also be accessible in a hybrid format via Zoom. A short text will be distributed approximately one week before the sessions to registered participants.

The Opening conversation of the lecture series will be held on Tuesday 31 January from 09:00-10:30 at the University of Amsterdam. With speakers Matilda Arvidsson (Gothenburg University), Fleur Johns (UNSW Sydney) and Dimitri van den Meerssche (Queen Mary University)
