The Centre for Law & Social Change | City, University of London presents: Fertile Ground Interdisciplinary Conversations
A conversation with:
Dr Alejandra Azuero, Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropologie of Swarthmore
Dr Hannah Franzki, a researcher at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Peace and Conflict Studies (INTERACT) at Free University Berlin, where she oversees a project that is concerned with the legal construction of corporate responsibility and the way it shapes our understanding of violence in a global capitalist economy.
Before joining the Free University, she was a post-doctoral researcher at the School of Law at Bremen University, Germany. Hannah studied politics and international law in Marburg (Germany), Montevideo (Uruguay) and Warwick (UK). She holds a PhD from Birkbeck College/University of London.
Her wider research interests include critical legal theory, Walter Benjamin, philosophy of history, international political economy, and postcolonial theory. Read more about her research.
About Fertile Ground: Cross-Disciplinary Conversations
This event series brings together scholars working on the same or closely related questions, but from different disciplinary perspectives. Through these curated encounters, we hope to generate synergies inspiring new insights, discoveries, convergences, and even breakthroughs.
In Fertile Ground, we pair scholars with anthropologists, historians, sociologists, literary scholars and more, and see what magic occurs! We strive to make these conversations cross-generational as well, including students, PhD researchers, professors and everyone in between, and welcome conversationalists from around the world.
