Really excited to have a new piece out in @Law_Critique! The article tries to think through how law could better recognise the way human bodies can be extended by mobility aids like wheelchairs and how inadequate our current model of legal personhood is in this regard. 1/n

Please save the date – the next LCH conference will take place at the University of British Columbia, in beautiful Vancouver, on Friday and Saturday, May 17 - 18, 2024.  Mark your calendar!  We will be sending a CFP and other details this fall.

This STUNNING PAPER by @MariePetersmann is the latest in the emerging SI ‘After Rights?’ …. Marie turns to critical Black studies to rethink modes of relating … most importantly beyond the liberal subject as right-holder 🌸 A must read!
