Law and Philosophy Workshop
This year’s Law-Philosophy Workshop is focused on the topic of coercion. Various sessions will consider matters of its definition and functioning, its place in legal and political theory, its place in sexual relationships, its economic aspects, and its implications for thought about legal matters such as duress, contracts, the validity of confessions, and blackmail.
All sessions will take place on Monday afternoons from 4-6 p.m. in the Law School, Room D. Participants are also invited to join the presenter after each session for a dinner and continued discussion of the session. Readings for each session are distributed in advance. If you would like to receive these readings, please contact Lorrie Wehrs at lragland@uchicago.edu, or call (773) 702-0303.
Students who would like to take the workshop as a course for credit should contact Martha Nussbaum (Martha_Nussbaum@law.uchicago.edu) or Scott Anderson (scott.anderson@uchicago.edu) by Sept. 20, 2007. Please send a brief description of your interests and background relevant to the course.
Plans are also in the works to hold a 1.5 day mini-conference on topics related to coercion in the winter quarter. If you would be interested in speaking at the mini-conference, please let Scott Anderson know during the fall term. 9/24/07 Organizational meeting (students only)
