Stream 1: Cartographies of the Commons:  Legal, Political, & Social
Dimensions of the Commons (June 16th)

Where did the ‘Commons’ begin, and how was it transmitted into our
contemporary moment? Furthermore, what exactly does the ‘Commons’ constitute
today for activists, policy makers and scholars? The conference therefore
invites contributors to frame the historical and contemporary field of the
‘Commons?, in terms of its legal, political, and social dimensions and how
its geographic sites of contestation have led to both divergent and
overlapping characterizations and goals for the ‘Commons’.
 Stream 2: The Commons as a Transformative Legal Paradigm (June 17th)

The relationships between law and the ‘Commons’ has remained for the most
part uncritically explored. What might law learn from how other disciplines
and agents outside of law employ the ‘Commons’? Is the role of law merely to
advance various projects of the ‘Commons’, or does law itself offer useful
insight for understanding the ‘Commons’? Is law the ideal vehicle for
promoting the ‘Commons’, or is it more often a hindrance? Contributors are
here encouraged to reflect on these questions concerning the praxis between
law and the Commons.
