UPDATED
As part of the Faculty of Public Affair’s Living Book series, Prof. Stacy Douglas and Prof. Dale Spencer are two of the selected FPA faculty members who can be “signed out” so that guests can talk to them about their research for a 10 or 20 minute time period.
Prof. Douglas is interested in the question: what is law? How are we able to draw a border around what it is and what it isn’t? Her current research argues that any clear delimitation between what law is and isn’t is a mythological one. Come and chat with her about how we define “law”, and how we might think about what it “is” as deriving from multiple and unexpected sites. Be sure to Make a Booking!
Prof. Spencer‘s research interest is on marginalized populations, with specific interest in victims, youth and the homeless. He utilizes the methodological tools associated with qualitative research to understand how these groups experience and interpret their worlds. What are the challenges of accessing and conducting research with oft hard to reach and precarious populations? How does conducting research with subaltern populations change both the researcher and the populations she/he studies? Make a Booking.
