SLS - IEL Collective Teaching Workshop Series

The first workshop will explore new and emerging methodologies that aim to create more epistemically inclusive teaching of IEL; and shift IEL teaching away from a narrow, self-contained and theoretical discipline and situate its pedagogy and teaching practice within the broader lived experiences of constituencies affected by IEL rules and institutions. This first event will also feature a discussion of the experiences of IEL scholars and teachers in the global south.  

The second workshop will take place in Spring 2021 and focus on (1) locating IEL curricula within a broader contextual framework of the social, economic and geopolitical realities of the global economy and global constituencies, including drawing links between IEL and other areas of international and national law, such as on climate change, labour, health, socio-economic and human rights; and (2) harnessing emerging technologies and new innovative teaching methods to foster more pluralistic, diverse and innovative ways of engaging with IEL disciplines.
