The objective of this conference is to explore the different relations and definitions given to property and possession in determined contexts. Property, broadly defined as a mechanism that outlines the relationship between subjects and valuable actors and things, is a highly contextual relationship. Given the contested definitions and applications, different stakeholders refer to property, as if the category has a unified and single meaning. For that reason, we are interested in engaging in the conversation of property beyond the law. We are inviting scholars who use the concept of property to think about relationships that exist in areas such as real property, cultural property, intellectual property, the politics of property, property, and colonialism, property and Indigenous nations, property and transitions, and property and environmental justice, among others.
This event is co-directed by Dr. Jane Anderson (Associate Professor at New York University and Global Fellow in the Engelberg Center for Innovation Law and Policy in the Law School at NYU) and Māui Hudson (Associate Professor, Te Kotahi Research Institute at the University of Waikato, from Whakatōhea, Ngā Ruahine and Te Māhurehure)
