Reimagining Law and Justice

Today, societies face urgent questions about the meaning of justice, whether that takes the form of racial, sexual, economic, environmental, reparative, intergenerational, interspecies or social justice. The Reimagining Law and Justice series, published in association with The Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, is an exciting interdisciplinary and open access intervention in these key issues, challenges and debates in legal studies. The books in the series focus squarely on reimagining that age-old search for an understanding of the relationship between law and justice through interrogating the crucial challenges of our times.

The series is methodologically diverse, and is open to all forms of sociolegal, interdisciplinary and doctrinal analysis; its central thread is an awareness of the urgency of questions of justice, inclusion and equality, a commitment which is in turn supported by its open access dissemination.

Series Editor: Carl F. Stychin, Director of the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies and Professor of Law in the School of Advanced Study, University of London, UK.
