Nächste Woche Dienstag, am 10. Dezember 2019, wird Lyana Francot (VU Amsterdam) Gast im Forschungskolloquium des Arbeitsbereichs "Recht und Gesellschaft" sein. Thema ihres Vortrags ist: The Future Has Begun – Legal Temporalities in Modern Society. Lyana Francot ist Visiting Fellow an der Faculty of Law, Legal Theory and Legal History der Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

Das Thema des Vortrags beschreibt  Francot wie folgt:  "Can we prevent that the law, characterized by a persistent slowness, becomes obsolete in an increasingly complex, accelerating society? Modern law may seem without competition when it comes to providing predictability and certainty but in a highly uncertain and volatile societal environment, the legal tempo is often perceived a problem. This problem is exacerbated by the contemporary strong focus on the future, f.e. in the debate about climate change. It seems that the future already has begun, confronting the legal system with the necessity to step up its game and to become either future-proof or redundant."

Der Vortrag und die anschließende Diskussion finden ab 16:15 Uhr in X-B2-103 statt. Interessierte sind herzlich eingeladen!
