‘Representing Law’ Research Committee on Sociology of Law (RCSL) Conference Bangor University September 2-6 2024
The Research Committee on the Sociology of Law (RCSL, https://rcsl.hypotheses.org/) is part of the International Sociological Association (ISA) and on this occasion hosted by Bangor University. Founded in 1884, Bangor is a medium-sized research university in a small city surrounded by an area of outstanding natural beauty. The School of History, Law and Social Sciences (link: https://www.bangor.ac.uk/history-law-social-sciences) has a special focus on socio-legal topics. One of the earliest universities in the United Kingdom to offer criminology degrees, Bangor has now also made a name for police studies. Law at Bangor has historically started from within the social sciences. The latter here at Bangor also include sociology and social policy.
The local organisation committee consists of members of the School of History, Law and Social Sciences:
- Professor Stefan Machura
- David Ashworth, MA
- Dr Rhian Hodges
- Dr Lucy Finchett-Maddock
- Dr Olga Litvinova
- Anne Monnerau, LLM
- Lois Nash, LLM
- Isabel Linton (College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences)
