The Ontology Lab
Everyone else is rushing to explain the latest headline. We prefer to slow things down.
With The Ontology Lab, we start with the world around us - its events, tensions and transformations - then commit the unfashionable act of asking bigger questions. The Ontology Lab podcast is is an invitation to fall in love with abstraction again and discover why the most practical insights often begin with the most philosophical questions.
The podcast is hosted by Dr Karim Knio, Associate Professor at the International Institute of Social Studies.
Legal Mobilization Podcast
Law and rights do not magically realize themselves and deliver justice on their own. They need to be mobilized.
But what is legal mobilization? Is it different from other uses of law? Is it just about tactics, or are there broader strategies underpinning it? How can you evaluate its potential, to advance social justice claims and to hold states, governments and individuals accountable? How much reflexive learning takes place on the part of legal professionals and law users alike?
The Legal Mobilization Podcasts explore these and other questions from the perspective of international law, politics and legal sociology. We interview key actors, both scholars and practitioners, who share their knowledge and experiences with us.
This podcast series is hosted by Dr Jeff Handmaker, Associate Professor of Legal Sociology at ISS and leader of the Legal Mobilization Project.
