Labour law event in September 2025 to consider historical perspectives on dispute resolution and enforcement

Our Professor Rebecca Zahn, together with Johanna Wolf (Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory) and John Howe (University of Melbourne), is organising an on-campus workshop at the University of Strathclyde on 11-12 September 2025.

The organisers of the event, entitled “Untangling the circulation of ideas: historical perspectives on dispute resolution and enforcement in labour law”, seek papers from researchers in law, history or other related disciplines, which explore the history of international and transnational ‘entanglements’, networks, links and other modes for the circulation and exchange of ideas across borders and jurisdictions which shaped labour law enforcement practices, focusing particularly on the 19th and early 20th centuries.

More details can be found in the full call for papers.
