SUMMARY:Responding to Injustice
UID:20260618T163951Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-bd7db559-gt5qm
TZID:Australia/Sydney
LOCATION:The University of Sydney Law School\, Sydney\, Australia
DESCRIPTION:<p>In her book <em>The Faces of Injustice</em>\, Judith Shklar drew attention to our tendency to view injustice as &ldquo\;a prelude to or a rejection and breakdown of justice\, as if injustice were a surprising abnormality&rdquo\; and reminded us that &ldquo\;[m]ost injustices occur continuously within the framework of an established polity with an operative system of law\, in normal times.&rdquo\; Injustice is ubiquitous. But how should we respond to it?</p>\n<p>This conference will bring together theorists from multiple disciplines to explore this question in Australian and other contexts. From various perspectives\, the participants will focus on the following issues:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>different responses to injustice\, such as democratic reform\, litigation\, protest\, violence\, civil disobedience\, conscientious refusal\, revolution\, boycotts\, military intervention\, acceptance</li>\n<li>the impact of injustice on the moral obligation to obey the law</li>\n<li>judges&rsquo\; and other officials&rsquo\; responses to unjust laws and violations of the rule of law</li>\n<li>transitional justice (and transitional injustice)</li>\n<li>responses to the unjust treatment of Indigenous peoples</li>\n<li>the relationship between beliefs in a just world and responses to injustice</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The conference will take place on 8-9 December 2022 and will be hosted by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at the University of Sydney.</p>\n<p>The conference will take the format of a workshop. Papers will be distributed in advance and\, at the conference\, rather than being presented by the author\, will be introduced and discussed by a commentator\, to whom the author will have an opportunity to respond\, before being discussed by all participants. The organizers intend that the papers will subsequently be published in a collection of new essays.</p>\n<p>Please contact Dr Kevin Walton (<a href="mailto:kevin.walton@sydney.edu.au">kevin.walton@sydney.edu.au</a>) with enquiries about the conference.</p>
