About the event
This workshop is being run as a companion event to the Wolfson College inaugural Adams lecture which is being given by Dr Gillian Tett on the same day (details below). The workshop is designed to provide us with an opportunity to take an in-depth look at the ways in which political economy frames the research questions we pose and the experiences of those we research in the field of socio-legal studies. Drawing on the work of law and political economy scholars, each of the papers presented focus on empirical studies of the role that law and market capitalism play in the construction and persistence of private power and injustice.
