PIL Hub Seminar: Futurism: Neglected Histories of International Law
February 13, 2025 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
The PIL hub lunch-time seminar series aims to provide an opportunity to discuss and debate leading research on contemporary, theoretical and historical issues of international law.
Our next PIL Hub seminar will be held on 13th February, from 13.00 to 14.00 in the Moot Court Room.
We will have the opportunity to hear from Rebecca Mignot-Mahdavi.
Rebecca is Assistant Professor of International Law at Sciences Po Law School. Her current research is situated in the fields of international law, international legal theory and digital security law and governance. Her research has mainly focused on techno-legal modes of governance and their evolution/proliferation in a context where risk-anticipation strategies and technology are in play. She explores these techno-legal phenomena beyond rigid disciplinary boundaries. Her book, Drones and International Law: A Techno- Legal Machinery was published with Cambridge University Press in July 2023.
Rebecca is an Editor for the Legal Theory section of the Leiden Journal of International Law, a co-founder of the ESIL Interest Group on International Law and Technology, and a board member of the Women in International Law Network. She is an Associate Researcher at the TMC Asser Institute. Prior to joining Sciences Po, she served as a Lecturer in International Law and the LLM and MA Programme Director at the University of Manchester. Rebecca holds a PhD from the European University Institute and the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales.
This event will be on a first-come-first-serve basis.
