Remembering Karen Knop

Speakers: Catriona Drew, Gerry Simpson, Rob Howse and others

Karen Knop was a professor at the Faculty of Law teaching in the areas of public international law, private international law, foreign relations law and citizenship law. She wrote on issues of diversity, interpretation and participation in public international law. Her scholarship was broadly concerned with the challenges of gender and cultural differences to core concepts in public international law, including sovereignty, self-determination, nationality and the relationship between international and domestic law. Her recent articles develop alternative approaches to these topics by turning to private international law and foreign relations law. Professor Knop’s book Diversity and Self-Determination in International Law (Cambridge University Press) was awarded a Certificate of Merit by the American Society of International Law.

This event will be followed by a drink’s reception.
