Four members of the Law School's new Property & People research centre have participated in an international workshop, which took place on Thursday 30th June 2022 and Friday 1st July 2022 at the prestigious International Institute for the Sociology of Law in Onati, Spain.

Jointly organised by Prof Helen Carr, Property & People's Director, the workshop brought together an international audience from four continents to examine important issues arising from our increasingly dense living arrangements.

‘Living Cheek by Jowl’: Socio-legal explorations of the challenges of housing intensification, responds to the global phenomenon of urbanization, the importance of which has been demonstrated by the global pandemic. The United Nations predicts that by 2030, urban areas are projected to house 60 per cent of people globally and one in every three people will live in cities with at least half a million inhabitants (United Nations 2018).

Helen Carr, Sarah Nield, Dean Taylor and Emma Laurie, each presented papers to the international audience, exploring different aspects of housing densification and the challenges it poses.

A previous workshop organised by Helen Carr resulted in the publication: H Carr, B Edgeworth and C Hunter, Law and the Precarious Home: Socio-Legal Perspectives on the Home in Insecure Times (Hart, 2018).

The first flight under the UK's controversial plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda was scheduled to take place on 14 June but was halted at the last hour by an interim measure by the European Court of Human Rights. This predictably prompted calls for UK withdrawal from the ECHR, and various members of the UK Government, including the Prime Minister, Home Secretary and Attorney General all indicated, directly or indirectly, that this is on the table.

In a blog for Verfassungsblog, published on 17 June, Prof examines the implications of this through the lens of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement.

A call for UK withdrawal from the ECHR surfaces and resurfaces at fairly regular intervals in certain quarters of the Conservative party, but this week various members of the Government, including the Prime Minister, Home

The website for the ESRC-funded project 'Rehabilitating Probation' was launched last week, to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the unification of the probation services in England and Wales. This major 3-year research project will analyse the impact of reform at local, regional and national levels and from a variety of perspectives. It will provide lessons for criminal justice researchers and stakeholders, as well as providing wider lessons for those studying and engaging in organisational change. Dr Harry Annison, Associate Professor at Southampton Law School, is a member of the project team.

Dr Michael Da Silva and Professor Daniel Weinstock (Law, McGill University) are co-organizing a workshop at the MANCEPT Workshops in Political Theory from 7 – 9 September 2022 in Manchester.

The workshop is focused on the concept of subsidiarity under which final decision-making authority over a subject or issue should presumptively belong to the level of governance 'closest' to those affected.

They will examine whether a coherent theory of subsidiarity can respond to recent challenges to the concept and what should be done if sceptical challenges succeed.

Abstracts of up to 750 words can be sent until June 5.
