Voices in Vulnerability

About Voices in Vulnerability

Vulnerability theory arises in opposition to neoliberalism, replacing the liberal legal subject with the universally vulnerable individual. It's a new way of analyzing state responsibility and human relationships outside of the constraints of capitalism and hierarchy that better reflects the lived reality of humans today. Join us to learn from a diverse field of scholars who are shaping vulnerability theory in the legal world and beyond!
