SUMMARY:Planning and Publics – On Sustaining Shared Futurities in a Planetary Era
DESCRIPTION:To attend\, please RSVP by emailing Marie Petersmann at m.petersmann@lse.ac.uk. \nLondon Workshop\, 26-27 June 2025\, at NYU-London (joint with LSE & QMUL) \n265 Strand\, London WC2R 1BH. Room 344 \nThe rippling awareness of planetary-scale phenomena has layered onto existing socio-political challenges a raft of new concerns about knowledge-making\, institutions\, and the adequacy and durability of arrangements capable of sustaining and improving life in common. Organized around two pivotal ideas—planning and publics—this research project seeks to foster a wide-scope collaboration on a set of practical concepts and tools for better articulating and engaging with our shared futurities. These concepts and tools include infrastructure\, resilience\, scale\, repair\, the planetary\, law\, futurity. \n‘Planning’ has received less attention in contemporary thought and practice than it warrants—partly due to associations with high-modernist hubris and central-planning diktat. Yet\, structured thought and deliberation about the future—and ways to organize just transitions and sustain life in fast-changing complex environments—all form sophisticated attempts to plan. Planning is a necessary and widespread process\, involving imagination\, speculation\, prefiguration\, negotiation\, and contestation over future possibilities. It need not be technocratic\, or a hierarchical power system; it can be participatory\, deliberative\, and decentralized. In this sense\, planning is multivocal\, multimodal\, multiscalar\, and more-than-human—it encompasses not only state strategies and urban development\, but also legal reasoning\, climate modelling\, material maintenance\, repair practices\, grassroots organizing\, and other aspects of knowledge-making. Infrastructures necessarily involve planning\, and vice versa. Planning\, then\, is not only a human act of foresight but a materially embedded process shaped by physical and digital infrastructures\, ecologies\, and more-than-human agencies that co-produce the conditions of possible futures. We hypothesize that law often serves as a form of planning\, and this role of law should be understood and debated expressly. \n‘Publics’ are brought into being by existing institutional forms—such as a national or city public—or in response to external stimuli or concerns affecting persons who may otherwise not be aware of commonalities. Some publics take on more robust forms—as associations\, assemblies\, or political communities. But in less organized forms\, a public is those affected by a specific activity or institution external to them. In some cases\, the public forms itself to mobilize\, resist\, or refuse; in others\, it seeks a role in governance\, or to have its interests—unified or divergent—taken into account. In democratic governance\, institutions and legal or political actors have duties of ‘publicness’—to take account of those they affect\, give reasons for actions or inactions\, and in some situations to be responsive or accountable\, particularly for harms. Publics and publicness are part of the basis on which it is possible to be and to act in common\, and to imagine doing so. This relational view of emergent publics signals how collective agency is forged or foreclosed in the making of shared futures. Law plays a major role in these processes. Publics also arise in relation to infrastructures and their maintenance—often not well aligned\, spatially or temporally\, with the legal arrangements for publics. \nThe ideas of planning and publics are intricately and inextricably linked. Each is dependent on views and practices of scale and scaling—the kinds of tensions encapsulated in phrases such as ‘place and planet’. The simultaneity of multiple spatiotemporalities is grappled with in all of these human processes. At any moment\, planning\, publics\, law\, and infrastructure each involves accounts of the past and the imagined future\, buttressed by the ways of knowing and of projecting that are available to people at that moment. Resilience is given a positive valence (‘build back better’) for many people in prosperous societies\, but in other contexts it brings to the fore what is implicit in much of the practice of future-making—continuing deferral of progress\, surviving and making do\, plans unrealized and eventually unmade. \nOur project brings together scholars from several disciplines—including law\, history\, sociology\, finance\, geography\, oceanography\, climate modelling\, and earth systems sciences—to work on these themes together. We aim to develop deeper collaborations and to produce new cross-cutting work on these issues about the making and possibilities of our shared futurities. \n Thursday 26 June:  \n10am – Opening remarks \n10.15am: Planning\, Resilience\, and Futures \nIntroduced / moderated by Alejandro Rodiles (ITAM) \n\nSurabhi Ranganathan (Cambridge University)\nDavid Chandler (Westminster University)\nKasia Mika (QMUL)\nJan Groos (Kiel University)\n\n–     Sam Tabory (Harvard University) \n12.15–1.15pm: Lunch \n1.15pm: (Non)publics\, Infrastructures\, and Futures \nIntroduced / moderated by Dimitri Van Den Meerssche (QMUL) \n\nJan Eijking (Oxford University)\nGavin Sullivan (University of Edinburgh)\nVictoria Adelmant (Oxford University)\nAndrea Leiter (University of Amsterdam)\n\n3.15-3.45pm: Coffee  \n3.45pm: Planetary Publics and Collective Infrastructures  \nIntroduced / moderated by Marie Petersmann (LSE) \n\nLuis Eslava (LaTrobe)\nPaula Serafini (QMUL)\nElsa Noterman (QMUL)\nYousaf Nishat-Botero (City University of London)\nTimo Zandstra (EUI)\nAndreas Buser (FU Berlin)\n\n 5.45pm: End of first day \n7.30pm: Dinner at The Ship Tavern  \n Friday 27 June: \n9.30am: Shared Futurities – Going Forward \nIntroduced / moderated by Benedict Kingsbury (NYU) \n\nStephen Humphreys (LSE)\nAndreas Folkers (University of Erfurt)\nLaura Mai (Tilburg University)\nAngelina Fisher (NYU)\nAndrew Hurrell (Oxford University)\nMegan Donaldson (UCL)\nPavlos Eleftheriadis (NYU)\n\n 12.00am: Concluding remarks & future work  \n12.15pm: Lunch  \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:The Underworlds Series: The Wild / Feral as Site of Global Dis/Ordering
DESCRIPTION:   Register for the event \nAs part of the Underworlds series\, this event engages with the wild / feral as a site of global dis/ordering. Rather than focusing only on how wildlife is formally recognised or regulated in (international) law\, the event foregrounds the material patterns of dis/ordering that the ‘wild’ – as a site of both containment and refusal – reveals or generates. We thereby aim to explore the new legal geographies\, subjectivities\, and modes of power and resistance that an attention to these unconventional or unruly sites and actors can engender. This also entails reflection on new methodological repertoires that help us study and navigate the world as seen through this lens\, as works on feral ecologies or the feral atlas inspired. How can we become attuned to such ‘wild legalities’ – to ‘the hierarchies and slippages between wild and domestic\, nature and culture\, native and settler\, human and nonhuman life’? How can this more-than-human perspective help us conceptualize and counteract settler-colonial orders and the legal regimes enabling those? Can we make ‘legally legible the conditions under which wildness manifests itself – not as a counterpoint to humanness\, but as a meeting between species’? Which legal locations and geographies can emerge from this perspective? \nThe Speakers \nIrus Braverman is Professor of Law\, Adjunct Professor of Geography\, and Research Professor at the Department of Environment and Sustainability at the State University of New York at Buffalo. She is author and editor of thirteen monographs and collections\, including Planted Flags: Trees\, Land\, and Law in Israel/Palestine (Cambridge UP\, 2009) Zooland: The Institution of Captivity (Stanford UP\, 2012)\, Coral Whisperers: Scientists on the Brink (U of California P\, 2018)\, and Settling Nature: The Conservation Regime in Palestine-Israel (U of Minn P.\, 2023). \nFloris De Witte is Associate Professor at LSE Law School. His research focuses on the interaction between EU law and politics\, as well as on EU legal geography. Floris teaches a range of courses on EU law at the LLB and LLM. He is an affiliated member of the LSE European Institute. Floris sits on the editorial board of the German Law Journal and European Law Open. \nEvent Resources \n\nBaptiste Morizot\, Entretien sur le sauvage\nIrus Braverman\, Wild Legalities: Animals and Settler Colonialism in Palestine/Israel\nFloris De Witte\, Where the Wild Things Are: Animal Autonomy in EU Law\n\nThe Series: Underworlds – Sites and Struggles of Global Dis/Ordering \nEngagement with practices of global ordering is often guided towards specific locations and legacies: the sovereign state\, the formal sources and standards of international law\, the intricacies of global diplomacy\, the historical juncture and its (anti-)heroes\, the international palaces of hope in Geneva\, New York\, or The Hague. These explorations entail ideas of where power resides and where it is to be unmasked or undone – ideas implicitly grounded in modernist geographies\, temporalities\, and subjectivities. Starting from the limits of these familiar perspectives\, this lecture and workshop series traces the multiple ways in which these sites\, actors\, and events are cabined\, crossed\, and cut apart by alternative material arteries\, lineages\, and languages of global dis/ordering. \nThe series takes as starting point that authority and order are not fixed properties of specific actors or institutions\, but the result of ongoing material processes of ordering and world-making. As such\, it traces unconventional forms and sites of global dis/ordering – from raw materials to projections of hope – as material\, infrastructural\, and discursive compositions that shape patterns of power. The encounter between old- and new materialist\, Marxist and decolonial methodologies and modes of critique is one of the key objectives of this series. Its aim\, however\, is not only methodological: it aspires to inspire new ethical and political openings that attend to our inevitable complicity in taking part in these processes\, and reveal new modes of resistance and refusal\, of struggle and sociality. These interventions are not narrowly targeted at the old nemeses of critique – the state\, the truth\, the universal – but work from within both entrenched and emergent material sites and practices of dis/ordering: oceans\, oil / coal\, breath\, debt\, commons\, frontier(s)\, waste\, hope\, wild / feral\, vessels. \nProgramme (all events take place online at 14.00 BST) \nOceans (with Renisa Mawani and Surabhi Ranganathan) – 11 October 2023 \nOil / Coal (with Lys Kulamadayil and On Barak) – 25 October 2023 \nBreath (with Daniela Gandorfer and Jean-Thomas Tremblay) – 22 November 2023 \nDebt (with Vasuki Nesiah and Kojo Koram) – 13 December 2023 \nCommons (with Isabel Feichtner and Elsa Noterman) – 24 January 2024 \nFrontier(s) (with Christine Schwöbel-Patel and Cait Storr) – 28 February 2024 \nWaste (with Heather Davis and Michael Hennessy Picard) – 27 March 2024 \nHope (with Claire Colebrook and David Chandler) – 24 April 2024 \nWild / Feral (with Irus Braverman and Floris De Witte) – 29 May 2024 \nVessels (with Rinaldo Walcott and Itamar Mann) – 19 June 2024 \nThe series is convened by Marie Petersmann and Dimitri Van Den Meerssche and co-organised by QMUL (the Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences and the Centre for Law and Society in a Global Context) and the LSE Law School. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:The Underworlds Series: Hope as Site of Global Dis/Ordering
DESCRIPTION:   Register for the event \nAs part of the Underworlds series\, this event focuses on hope as a site of global dis/ordering. \nMoving beyond modernist modes of seeing and ordering the world – ways of governing often entangled with sentimental tropes of liberal hope – this event will reflect on hope as a set of sensibilities and practices of living after the end of the world. Hope is seen\, in this sense\, as a specific mode for dis/ordering the world and our place within it. This entails an attentiveness to the diverging onto-epistemologies that sustain varying expressions of hope\, as well as the political subjectivities and forms of refusal and resistance these engender. What is the space of hope and hopelessness (or the death of hope) in a context of mass extinction and its many foreclosed futurities? Which expressions of hope (speculative\, pragmatic\, nihilist) can be foregrounded against the ever-receding horizon of liberal hope? \nThe Speakers \nClaire Colebrook is the author of New Literary Histories (Manchester UP\, 1997)\, Ethics and Representation (Edinburgh UP\, 1999)\, Deleuze: A Guide for the Perplexed (Continuum 1997)\, Gilles Deleuze (Routledge 2002)\, Understanding Deleuze (Allen and Unwin 2002)\, Irony in the Work of Philosophy (Nebraska UP\, 2002)\, Gender (Palgrave 2003)\, Irony (Routledge 2004)\, Milton\, Evil and Literary History (Continuum 2008)\, Deleuze and the Meaning of Life (Continuum 2010)\, and William Blake and Digital Aesthetics (Continuum 2011).  She co-authored Theory and the Disappearing Future with Tom Cohen and J. Hillis Miller (Routledge 2011)\, and co-edited Deleuze and Feminist Theory with Ian Buchanan (Edinburgh University Press\, 2000)\, Deleuze and History with Jeff Bell (Edinburgh 2008)\, Deleuze and Gender with Jami Weinstein (Edinburgh UP 2009) and Deleuze and Law (Palgrave) with Rosi Braidotti and Patrick Hanafin.  She is the co-editor\, with Tom Cohen\, of a series of monographs for Open Humanities Press: Critical Climate Change. She has written articles on visual culture\, poetry\, literary theory\, queer theory and contemporary culture.  She recently completed two books on Extinction for Open Humanities Press: The Death of the Posthuman\, and Sex After Life\, and has co-authored (with Jason Maxwell) Agamben (Polity\, 2015) and (with Tom Cohen and J.Hillis Miller) Twilight of the Anthropocene Idols (Open Humanities Press\, 2016). Her most recent book is Who Would You Kill to Save the World? (Nebraska UP\, 2023). She is now completing a book on fragility (of the species\, the archive and the earth). \nDavid Chandler is Professor of International Relations\, University of Westminster. He edits the open access journal Anthropocenes: Human\, Inhuman\, Posthuman. His recent books include The World as Abyss: The Caribbean and Critical Thought in the Anthropocene (2023\, with Jonathan Pugh); Anthropocene Islands: Entangled Worlds (2021\, with Jonathan Pugh); Becoming Indigenous: Governing Imaginaries in the Anthropocene (2019\, with Julian Reid); and Ontopolitics in the Anthropocene: An Introduction to Mapping\, Sensing and Hacking (2018). \nEvent Resources \n\nE.B.

SUMMARY:The Underworlds Series: Waste as Site of Global Dis/Ordering
DESCRIPTION:   Register for the event \nAs part of the Underworlds series\, the event focuses on waste as a site of global dis/ordering. \nRather than concentrating only on how waste is defined or regulated in (international) law\, the event foregrounds the material patterns of dis/ordering that thinking through waste can reveal and generate. This entails an attentiveness to the ethical positions\, material practices\, and shifting legal geographies that help us navigate the world from the vantage point of its wastelands. How can we trace the arteries of power and modes of production that constitute the Molysmocene – the ‘geological era shaped by human waste and its management’? Which historical legacies\, worldviews and material entanglements have shaped this saturation and contamination with waste? Which avenues for action are available in such political landscapes of plasticity and pollution? \nThe Speakers \nHeather Davis is an Assistant Professor of Culture and Media at The New School in New York whose work draws on feminist and queer theory to examine ecology\, materiality\, and contemporary art in the context of settler colonialism. Her most recent book\, Plastic Matter (Duke University Press\, 2022) explores the transformation of geology\, media\, and bodies in light of plastic’s saturation. \nMichael Hennessy Picard teaches Waste Law at the University of Edinburgh School of Law. His research focuses on the transnational regulation of global waste objects\, from the recycling of shipwrecks to the (mis)management of outer space debris. \nEvent Resources \n\nAlice Mah\, Toxic Expertise\nMichelle Murphy\, Alterlife and Decolonial Chemical Relations\nAnna Tsing\, Feral Atlas\nDiscard Studies Compendium\nGabrielle Hecht\, Residual Governance – How South Africa Foretells Planetary Futures\nSimone M.

SUMMARY:The Underworlds Series: Frontier(s) as Sites of Global Dis/Ordering
DESCRIPTION:   Register for the event \nThe time for this event has changed to 11am – 12pm \nAs part of the Underworlds series\, the event focuses on frontiers as sites of global dis/ordering. It foregrounds how frontier spaces are legally\, materially\, and discursively produced and what kinds of activity this production enables and forecloses. This also entails an attentiveness to the forms of refusal and resistance that the violence and extractivism of frontier spaces invite. What are the lineages and legacies of frontier thinking in histories of racial capitalism\, and how are these intertwined with regimes of (international) legal ordering? How is frontier imagination currently extended to new locations – from the deep seabed to outer space – and what are the effects of this extension? Which forms of political countermobilization do these frontier imaginaries invite? \nThe Speakers \nDr. Christine Schwöbel-Patel is Professor at Warwick Law School and a Visiting Fellow at Cambridge University’s Centre for Research in the Arts\, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH). She is the author of two monographs Marketing Global Justice (CUP 2021) and Global Constitutionalism in International Legal Perspective (Brill 2011). She is co-editor of Aesthetics and Counter-Aesthetics of International Justice (Counterpress 2023 forthcoming)\, and editor of Critical Approaches to International Criminal Law: An Introduction (Routledge 2014). Christine’s current research project is on Legal Pipelines of the Green Transition\, which aims to make sense of the relationship between (international) law\, the green transition\, and capitalism. Rosa Luxemburg’s work and influence runs like a red line through her research and pedagogy. Christine won two competitive stipendiary fellowships for her project on Legal Pipelines: An Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship for Experienced Researchers based at the Humboldt University in Berlin (2022-2023) and a Leverhulme Research Fellowship (2023-2024). \nCait Storr is a Lecturer at Melbourne Law School. Her transdisciplinary research addresses the relationship between property\, territory and jurisdiction\, with a focus on struggles for legal control over natural resources. She has published on the history of international administration\, the concept of territory in international law\, imperialism in the Pacific\, decolonisation\, and environmental law\, and is the author of International Status in the Shadow of Empire: Nauru and the Histories of International Law (Cambridge University Press\, 2020). Cait’s research is informed by her professional experience working in government and private legal practice. She is a qualified legal practitioner\, with experience at a major law firm in resource projects\, environment and planning\, and corporate governance\, and has worked as a legal consultant for the United Nations Development Program. Cait has held positions as Lecturer in Land Law at Glasgow Law School\, as Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Technology Sydney\, and as junior faculty with the Harvard Institute of Global Law and Policy. Her postdoctoral work examined the history and politics of the law governing resource extraction in domains beyond national jurisdiction\, and her current research examines the rise of critical minerals discourse in Australian law and politics. \nEvent Resources \n\nRosa Luxemburg\, The Accumulation of Capital (Chapter 26)\nThe Dig Podcast\, Our History Is the Future (with Nick Estes)\nGuardian Australia\, ‘Rio Tinto blew up Juukan Gorge rock shelters ‘to access higher volumes of high-grade ore‘\nSky News Australia\, ‘Eastern states “take this work for granted”: PM highlights importance of mining in WA’\n\nThe Series: Underworlds – Sites and Struggles of Global Dis/Ordering \nEngagement with practices of global ordering is often guided towards specific locations and legacies: the sovereign state\, the formal sources and standards of international law\, the intricacies of global diplomacy\, the historical juncture and its (anti-)heroes\, the international palaces of hope in Geneva\, New York\, or The Hague.

SUMMARY:The Underworlds Series: Debt as Site of Global Dis/Ordering
DESCRIPTION:   Register for the event \nAs part of the Underworlds series\, this event focuses on debt as site of global dis/ordering. \nRather than concentrating only on how (sovereign) debt is formally recognised or regulated in international law\, this event aims to foreground the material patterns of global dis/ordering that debt generates. This entails an attentiveness to the histories of violence that are thereby enacted or amplified\, as well as a focus on practices of resistance and expressions of political subjectivity that emerge in relation to the construction and circulation of debt. How is this fabrication of debt implicated in the profoundly unequal configurations of global ordering that emerged after the formal end of empire? Which legal forms and institutions shaped and were shaped by these formations of debt and the uncommon wealth they sustained? Inversely\, which practices of redistribution and reparation can be articulated in relation to the unpayable debt thereby accrued? \nThe Speakers \nVasuki Nesiah is Professor of Practice in Human Rights and International Law at the Gallatin School\, NYU. She writes on the history and politics of international law\, global feminisms\, reparations and decolonization. Her current focus is on her book project Reading the Ruins: Slavery\, Colonialism and International Law\, as well as a co-edited handbook on Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) which is under contract with Elgar.  Two recent articles that are relevant to the conversation on debt include her article on sovereign debt and reparations titled “A Double Take on Debt” which appeared in the Osgoode Hall Law Journal Volume 59: Issue 1 (Winter 2022) and her article on microcredit\, household debt and neoliberal feminism titled “Indebted: The Cruel Optimism of Leaning-in to Empowerment” which was first published as a chapter in the edited volume Governance Feminisms\, Univ. of Minnesota Press (2018). Past work includes her recently completed book International Conflict Feminism which is forthcoming with UPenn. Press in 2024 and her co-edited volume\, A Global History of Bandung and Critical Traditions in International Law (Cambridge 2017).  Nesiah is a founding member of Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL). \nKojo Koram is a Senior Lecturer in Law at Birkbeck School of Law\, University of London. Prior to taking up this role\, he was a Lecturer at the School of Law at the University of Essex between 2016-2018. He was called to the Bar of England and Wales in 2011 and then received his PhD in 2017. In 2018\, the Association for the Study of Law\, Culture and the Humanities awarded his PhD the Julien Mezey Dissertation Award for the dissertation that most promises to enrich and advance interdisciplinary scholarship at the intersection of law\, culture\, and the humanities. In 2022\, he published his debut book Uncommon Wealth: Britain and the Aftermath of Empire (John Murray 2022) which was nominated for the 2022 Orwell Prize for Political Writing. Alongside his academic work\, Kojo has also written for publications as varied as the Guardian\, the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, the Nation\, Dissent and the New Statesman. \nEvent Resources \n\nBamako\nLife and Debt\nVasuki Nesiah\, A Double Take on Debt: Reparations Claims and Regimes of Visibility in a Politics of Refusal\nVasuki Nesiah\, Indebted: The Cruel Optimism of Leaning in to Empowerment\nKojo Koram\, Uncommon Wealth: Britain and the Aftermath of Empire\n\nThe Series: Underworlds – Sites and Struggles of Global Dis/Ordering \nEngagement with practices of global ordering is often guided towards specific locations and legacies: the sovereign state\, the formal sources and standards of international law\, the intricacies of global diplomacy\, the historical juncture and its (anti-)heroes\, the international palaces of hope in Geneva\, New York\, or The Hague.

SUMMARY:Underworlds – Oil / Coal as Sites of Global Dis/Ordering
DESCRIPTION:   Register for the event \nAs part of the Underworlds series\, this event focuses on oil / coal as sites of global dis/ordering. \nRather than concentrating only on how the commodities of oil and coal are formally framed or regulated as objects of international law\, this event aims to foreground the patterns and imaginaries of global dis/ordering that these materials generate. It thereby aims to trace the multiple entanglements between fossil fuels and the infrastructural and institutional conduits of global power. This also entails an attentiveness to the relation between the carbon world and forms of political violence\, collective resistance\, and the chains and geographies of global capitalism through which these unfold. How are histories of empire and its reverberations in current economic and geopolitical conditions intertwined with the materiality of carbon – as expressed in patterns of ‘coalonalism’? Which arteries of power and authority can be traced to the infrastructures of rule that the extraction of oil and coal require and enable? How can these be diagnosed and disrupted? \nThe Speakers \nLys Kulamadayil is an international lawyer and a senior research fellow at Helmut-Schmidt University. Her research interests include\, among other things\, minerals\, climate change\, ecology\, corruption and money-laundering\, distributive justice\, and the structures and processes of the profession fields of international law. She has published in the London Review of Int’l Law\, Leiden Journal of Int’l Law\, Journal of the History of Int’l Law\, and Transnational Legal Theory. In her forthcoming monograph The Pathology of Plenty: Natural Resources in International Law Lys explores the role international law has played in the extraction of mineral resources in post-colonial countries. Before joining Helmut-Schmidt University\, Lys held a post with the German Federal Foreign Office (humanitarian affairs) and as an SNSF-funded Post-Doc in Amsterdam. \nOn Barak is a social and cultural historian of science and technology in non-Western settings. In recent years\, he specialized in the history and current politics of the climate crisis in the Middle East and the Global South. He is an Associate Professor at the Department of Middle Eastern & African History at Tel Aviv University\, and the author of numerous articles and three books: Powering Empire: How Coal Made the Middle East and Sparked Global Carbonization (University of California Press\, 2020)\, On Time: Technology and Temporality in Modern Egypt (University of California Press\, 2013)\, and Names Without Faces: From Polemics to Flirtation in an Islamic Chat-Room (Uppsala University Press\, 2006). Prior to joining Tel Aviv University\, he was a member of the Princeton Society of Fellows and a lecturer at the history department at Princeton University. In 2009\, he received a joint Ph.D. in History and Middle Eastern Studies from New York University. He also holds an M.A. in Islamic Studies from Leiden University\, the Netherlands\, and Joint LL.B. and B.A. in Law and Arabic Language & Literature from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He is a co-founder of the Laboratory for the History of the Climate Crisis at Tel Aviv University\, a research and teaching platform for generating a ‘usable past’ for humanity’s greatest challenge in the twenty-first century. He also co-founded the Social History Workshop\, a weekly blog published on the Haaretz website analyzing current Middle Eastern affairs through the lens of contemporary historical research. \nEvent Resources \n\nOn Barak\, Powering Empire: How Coal Made the Middle East and Sparked Global Carbonization\nVirunga\nSiddharth Kara\, Cobalt Red – How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives\n\nThe Series: Underworlds – Sites and Struggles of Global Dis/Ordering \nEngagement with practices of global ordering is often guided towards specific locations and legacies: the sovereign state\, the formal sources and standards of international law\, the intricacies of global diplomacy\, the historical juncture and its (anti-)heroes\, the international palaces of hope in Geneva\, New York\, or The Hague.

SUMMARY:Underworlds – Oceans as Sites of Global Dis/Ordering
DESCRIPTION:   Register for the event \nAs part of the Underworlds series\, this event focuses on oceans as sites of global dis/ordering. \nRather than concentrating only on how oceans are formally framed or regulated as objects of international legal ordering\, this event foregrounds the patterns and imaginaries of global dis/ordering that thinking through the ocean can reveal. Which material historical conditions have shaped the current legal constitution of oceanic space? Which new legal and political temporalities\, geographies\, and subjectivities might ‘thinking oceanically’ generate? How are international law and the ocean co-constituted – through its specific spatial zones\, its depths and bottoms\, its vexing vents\, and amphibious legalities? Which critical practices can enable us to think and act in unruly oceans – through its waves\, marine mammals and blue legalities – as the ever-shifting terrain of violence\, struggle\, and political imagination? \nThe Speakers \nSurabhi Ranganathan is Professor of International Law at the University of Cambridge\, and a fellow of King’s College\, Cambridge. Educated in Delhi\, Bangalore\, New York\, and Cambridge\, she has also taught at Warwick and\, as visiting professor\, at the Graduate Institute\, Geneva. Author of Strategically Created Treaty Conflicts and the Politics of International Law (CUP 2015)\, assistant editor of the Cambridge Companion to International Law\, her writing has been published in the European Journal of International Law\, the British Yearbook of International Law\, the American Journal of International Law\, the Journal of the History of International Law\, and popular platforms such as the New York Times and The Dial. She is currently at work on a book and several essays on the history and politics of a changing ocean and assorted techno-utopian imaginaries\, and on two major editorial projects: The Cambridge History of International Law in Asia\, and The Battle for International Law in the Neoliberal Era. She has also recently co-edited a special issue of SAACLR on ‘Colonial Loot and Its Restitution’. Ranganathan is Editor-in-Chief of the Leiden Journal of International Law and Deputy Director of the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law. She was a fellow at the Wissenschaftskolleg\, Berlin for 2022-2023\, a visiting fellow at the Center for History and Economics\, Harvard in Spring 2021\, and is part of the Aurora Centre\, Arctic University of Norway\, Tromsø.  \nRenisa Mawani is Canada Research Chair in Colonial Legal Histories and Professor of Sociology at the University of British Columbia\, located on the unceded territories of the Musqueam (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm) peoples. From 2022-2025 she is a Global Professorial Fellow at the School of Law\, Queen Mary University of London. Renisa is the author of Colonial Proximities (University of British Columbia Press\, 2009) and Across Oceans of Law (Duke University Press\, 2018)\, which was a finalist for the U.K. Socio-Legal Studies Association Theory and History Book Prize (2020) and winner of the Association of Asian American Studies Book Prize for Outstanding Contribution to History (2020).
