SLSA PORTSMOUTH 2020
From 1 to 3 April 2020, socio-legal scholars will gather in
Portsmouth as guests of the University of Portsmouth
School of Law for the SLSA Annual Conference.
Portsmouth is a seaside city with a rich naval and literary
history. It was the birthplace of Charles Dickens, and fellow
writers H G Wells and Arthur Conan Doyle also resided in the
city. The city is also home to the Mary Rose, Henry VIII’s famous
warship, which has been painstakingly restored and offers
visitors a unique historical experience.
Drawing on the city’s naval heritage, the conference team
has hired HMS Warrior, Britain’s first iron-hulled, armoured
battleship, as the venue for the reception on the Wednesday
evening. Delegates will be able to enjoy drinks and canapés on
the fully resto red gun deck. O n Wednesday morn ing, an
optional guided walking tour of Nelson’s Trail will highlight
places and buildings with links to Vice Admiral Lord Nelson
around the time of the Battle of Trafalgar. After the conference
closes on Friday, a Harbour Tour provides an opportunity to
enjoy views of Portsmouth from the sea.
The conference promises a busy three-day programme with
around 400 papers across the 35 streams and six current topics.
The conference will take place in three buildings clustered
closely together and situated in the university’s Northern
Quarter. The conference venues are within a short walking
distance of two of the city’s railway stations. The theme of this
year’s conference is ‘Law in an Age of Populism’, a theme that
draws on the plenary and some of this year’s current topics. The
plenary theme is ‘Gender Equality and Queer Rights in an Age
of Populism’. Th e plenary will take place on Wednesday
afterno on and will e xplore the i ntersection of popu lism,
gender/sexuality and law. The speakers will discuss how
gender and queer feature in populism and in resistance to the
liberal legal order. More specifically, they will examine the
current and potential impact of the populist movements on the
enjoyment and protection of gender equality and queer rights
and they will consider how the law might respond to the
challenges that the changing socio-political landscape poses for
women and sexual minorities. The plenary will be followed by
the drinks reception on HMS Warrior. The conference dinner
and prize-giving on Thursday evening will be held in
Portsmouth Guildhall.
The Portsmouth team is pleased to be able to offer some
trainin g s essions on s ocio-legal approaches d uring the
