CRPLA is hosting an on-line reading group this autumn, to discuss the concept of crisis. We will meet on Tuesday evenings 5.30-7.00 pm, in Weeks 2, 4, 8 and 10. Each meeting will consider the concept of crisis from a different perspective. Professor Miguel Beistegui will launch the reading group in Week 2, with a brief history of the concept and readings on its role in political economy and legal theory. Further information on readings and logistics are available here:
