SUMMARY:Due Diligence on Trial: What can corporate sustainability due diligence regulation deliver for people\, the climate and nature?
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nCorporate sustainability due diligence has emerged as one of the most significant and contested regulatory innovations of the past decade. The EU’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)\, alongside national laws in France\, Germany and beyond\, legally required companies to identify\, prevent and mitigate harmful human rights and environmental impacts across their operations and supply chain?  \nBut is due diligence regulation enough? Can such regulation itself cause harm?   \nThe Sustainability Regulation Observatory (SRO) at LSE’s Global School of Sustainability invites you to Due Diligence on Trial — a mock trial event that puts corporate sustainability due diligence in the dock\, examining its value\, its limitations\, and whether it can deliver the systemic change that people\, the climate and nature urgently require. Prosecutors\, defence counsel and independent witnesses will argue the case before a judge\, with the audience acting as the live jury and casting their verdict.  \nSpeakers: \nFor the prosecution: \nKate Levick — Associate Director\, E3G Arguing that corporate sustainability due diligence\, even at its strongest\, falls structurally short of what the climate and nature emergencies require.  \nProf. Dr. Galina Kolev-Schaefer — Senior Economist at the German Economic Institute (IW Köln) Presenting the economic critique of due diligence as a regulatory tool.  \nJudge Prof. Veerle Heyvaert — Professor\, LSE Law School; founding Editor-in-Chief of Transnational Environmental Law; Associate Dean\, LSE Law School \nFor the defence: \nSarah-Jane Denton — Operational Risk and Environment\, Travers Smith  \nThe event will be followed by a drinks reception.  \nPlease note that although this event is ticketed\, seating will operate on a first-come\, first-served basis.

SUMMARY:Reading wars: the story (so far) of Western literacy and the future of free speech
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the LSE Law School and LSE Press \nIn-person and online public event (Old Theatre\, Old Building) \nHow can I attend? \n\n\nIn-person: You can request one ticket via the online ticket request form\, which will be open after 12noon on Monday 11 May. The ticket line will stay open until all tickets have been allocated. \nOnline: Registration will open in early April. \nIf you have a query see our Events FAQ or email events@lse.ac.uk. \nWho gets access to books? And\, to what extent does the act of reading shape our humanity? In conversation with Larry Kramer\, Don Herzog will discuss his new publication from LSE Press\, Reading Wars\, which examines the heated\, even murderous\, political struggles over who gets to read and what they get to read. \nHerzog studies the history and politics of anxieties about readers and reading\, spanning both the United States and Britain\, from the 1500s right up to contemporary battles over banning library books and freedom of speech. The author reconstructs arguments insisting that ordinary men and women could not be trusted to read what they liked – indeed\, that some of them ought not read at all. And he charts struggles to promote literacy. Herzog argues that at stake in these battles is whether some people – those banned from reading – are not fully human\, or lesser persons than others. The radical campaign to let more or less everyone read more or less everything is ultimately\, therefore\, a campaign for equality. \nMeet our speakers and chair \nDon Herzog teaches law and political theory at the University of Michigan\, where he has won the Golden Apple Award\, a university-wide teaching award bestowed by the student body. Among his previous books are Poisoning the Minds of the Lower Orders\, Household Politics: Conflict in Early Modern England\, Defaming the Dead\, and A Little Book of Political Mistakes. \nLarry Kramer has been President and Vice Chancellor of LSE since April 2024.

Her publications include A Life of HLA Hart; Women\, Crime and Character: From Moll Flanders to Tess of the D’Urbervilles; The Prisoners’ Dilemma\, and In Search of Criminal Responsibility. \nDevika Hovell is Professor of Public International Law at LSE\, specialising in the law on the use of force and international criminal law.
