Emerging Normativities: Hybrid Public Lecture Series on Law, Governance, and Digital Technologies, University of Westminster Law School

From Daniela Gandorfer, Legal Scholar//Co-Director of LoPh//Founder of Code-X-Diagrams//Blockchain Gov Consultant Westminster University School of Law

I am writing to invite you to 'Emerging Normativities,’ a hybrid Public Lecture Series on Law, Governance, and Digital Technologies, at University of Westminster L:aw School and in collaboration with LoPH+.

 

In a nutshell, we ask: What happens at the new governmental frontier and who is drafting the social digital contract?

 

THE SERIES As climate change is shifting the material and social conditions of existence on planet Earth, skepticism towards representative governmental structures and a desire for alternative economic models rise. This transformative shift unfolds amidst the ascendancy of authoritarian regimes and a surge in global conflicts. Concurrently, cutting-edge technologies like distributed ledgers, IoT, robotics, AI, and mixed reality are dismantling traditional political and legal paradigms. This series dissect this intricate interplay shaping a novel governance frontier, both online and offline, often overlooked in mainstream discourse. It focuses on emerging tech-driven governance models - whether public or private, centralized or decentralized- driving fundamental shifts in legal and political theories through jurisdictional design, legal experimentation, and tech-democratization.

 

FIRST SESSION: FEB 8th Our first session, “Ground-Level Narratives: Digital Democracy (Taiwan) and Web3-City Prototyping (Zanzibar)," will take place on THU, Feb 8th, 2024, 2pm-4pm GMT, UG04 University of Westminster (Regent Street Campus)
