‘Complexity and the Law’ workshop on Friday 30 May at Sussex University.  The day seeks to explore the fitness (or otherwise) of complexity for our understandings of law in relation to the environment, networks, resistance and ways of knowledge itself, across the disciplines.  The day is funded by the Sussex Research Network fund fostering connections between departments at Sussex, organised by a loose group of scholars interested in complexity at Sussex Law School.

If you are interested in attending please email me at L.Finchett-Maddock@sussex.ac.uk, registration is free and there is lunch available.
