Calls/Events: freedom of the seas and freedom of the individual

The School of Oriental and African Studies University of London is calling for papers to a workshop entitled Freedom of the seas and freedom of the individual: a historical appraisal. This call for papers invites young scholars to explore various aspects of the relationship between freedom of the seas and individual freedom in a historical perspective, focusing on the XV-XIX centuries. Papers may focus on a specific jurist, geographic area, school of thought, historical period, or may address more transversal aspects across the identified timeframe and regions, and may do so from a variety of approaches. The workshop takes place 7 February 2025. Deadline for submission of abstracts is 20 November 2024. Further information is available here.
