SUMMARY:Sustainability\, Storytelling\, and Law: Interdisciplinary approac
 hes to the polycrisis
LOCATION:Cambridge University: Alison Richard Building
DESCRIPTION:This interdisciplinary conference explores the relationship be
 tween law\, literature\, and cultural production in an age increasingly de
 fined by ecological\, social\, and economic crisis. Bringing together scho
 lars from law\, the humanities\, and the social sciences\, it examines how
  narratives shape\, challenge\, and reimagine legal responses to what has 
 been described as the contemporary polycrisis. At the heart of the confere
 nce lies a critical engagement with the concept of sustainability. Rather 
 than treating sustainability as a stable or self-evident goal\, we approac
 h it as a negotiated and evolving framework through which futures are imag
 ined\, governed\, and distributed. Legal systems frequently invoke sustain
 ability as a guiding principle\, yet its meanings remain multiple: it may 
 signal preservation\, adaptation\, resilience\, or transformation. Cultura
 l texts—literature\, film\, art\, and digital media—play a crucial rol
 e in interrogating these meanings\, revealing both the possibilities and t
 he limitations of sustainability as a legal and ethical paradigm. Moving b
 eyond traditional approaches to “law and literature\,” this conference
  considers aesthetic texts as sites of legal imagination and critique. Lit
 erature and other cultural forms are understood not merely as reflections 
 of law\, but as spaces in which legal norms are tested\, reshaped\, and ev
 en produced.
