SUMMARY:Assemble! Protest Politics and Rights (with Roger Hallam\, Gina Ro
 mero\, Martha Spurrier)
LOCATION:Cambridge University: Room SG1
DESCRIPTION:Four eminent activists\, rights defenders and revolutionaries 
 address one of the most urgent issues of our times – the fate of people 
 power and popular sovereignty: - Roger Hallam\, Co-founder of Extinction R
 ebellion\, Just Stop Oil\, and Assemble - Gina Romero\, United Nations Spe
 cial Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of assoc
 iation - Martha Spurrier\, British barrister\, human rights campaigner\, a
 nd former director of Liberty Chaired by Professor Sharath Srinivasan\, co
 -director CGHR\, University of Cambridge. About The Oxford Handbook of Pea
 ceful Assembly Why assembly? With a tide of protest worldwide since the 20
 10s\, focusing on peaceful assembly seems easily justified. From Occupy an
 d the Arab Spring to #MeToo\, Extinction Rebellion\, and BLM\, ours is a p
 rotest age. While assembly is central to the politics of our time\, both t
 he right of peaceful assembly and assembly as an independent object of stu
 dy remain rather neglected. This Handbook reclaims the significance of ass
 embly from under the shadow of other rights and from a narrow focus on pub
 lic protest\, breaking new ground by offering critically needed analysis o
 n assembly qua assembly. Examining assembly as a distinct political and so
 cial practice that lies uneasily at the heart of the modern state reveals 
 insights into the nature of society\, politics\, and power and deepens our
  understanding of both popular sovereignty and institutionalized governmen
 t. Global in scope and richly grounded in history\, the Handbook serves as
  an authoritative resource on the right of peaceful assembly. Contribution
 s from lawyers\, political theorists\, sociologists\, anthropologists\, an
 d historians interrogate the importance of peaceful assembly\, its value\,
  its status as a legal right\, and the boundaries of its legitimate regula
 tion. Readers are offered a comprehensive understanding of the history\, p
 olitics\, and law of assembly\, deepened by examples of assemblies analyse
 d as events. Edited by: Tabatha Abu El-Haj (Drexel University)\, Michael H
 amilton (Amnesty International\, University of East Anglia)\, Thomas Probe
 rt (University of Pretoria)\, and Sharath Srinivasan (University of Cambri
 dge).
