Comparative law; Law & society

Series: Oñati International Series in Law and Society

What are the different institutional, intellectual and biographical trajectories in socio-legal studies, and how can they be compared?

This book brings together scholars from across Europe to reflect on the socio-political, legal and academic contexts in which they became the academics they are today. The chapters link individual scholars to the historical and contemporary factors that have shaped or influenced their work and careers – a novel approach that combines scholarly self-reflection with a historical perspective on the development of socio-legal studies between law and the social sciences.

The editors provide a heuristic framework for comparing and making sense of these different, dual trajectories, and show how professional scholarly biographies can be both contextualised and analysed with a view to shedding light on broader academic fields, both nationally and internationally.
