From Blue Community Ambassador Erin O’Donnell:
Join us in Ōtautahi/Christchurch for the 2025 LSAANZ conference! The theme: “how we can reimagine our socio-legal relationships in ways that foster resilience and better reflect our reciprocal relationships with each other and the world we live in.”
Sociolegal studies provide important tools to investigate our most pressing social and legal problems, including environmental harm, inequality and injustice, and climate change. This conference will explore how understandings of rights and responsibilities are evolving in response to legal and social change; and how we can reimagine our socio-legal relationships in ways that foster resilience and better reflect our reciprocal relationships with each other and the world we live in.
We are excited to announce that we will host the 2025 LSAANZ Conference, bringing the conference to Aotearoa for the first time in eight years. Since its establishment in the 1990s, LSAANZ has been dedicated to fostering the study of law and society in Australia and New Zealand. Through conferences, the Association has provided a platform for interdisciplinary dialogue, bringing together researchers, academics, practitioners, and social leaders to address critical sociolegal issues.
