Université Paris Ouest Nanterre la Défense
Intervenants: Daniel Borrillo (Université Paris Ouest Nanterre), Angela Harris (University of California Davis), Tanya Hernandez (Fordham Law School), Maleiha Malik (King’s College, London), Patrick Simon (INED), Iyiola Solanke (University of Leeds), Stéphanie Hennette-Vauchez (Université Paris Ouest Nanterre), Mathias Möschel (Central European University, Budapest).
The aim here is to unearth the history, politics and cultures of equality struggles on both sides of the Atlantic from past to present. We are particularly interested in understanding in which domains such struggles have emerged, whether and how they have either served in order to expand equality to other domains or whether they have been pitted against each other, and ultimately whether the specific history and politics also led to specific concepts. The relationship between North America, the European Union, and European domestic legal orders will be privileged as one within which there is intense normative circulation.
