Call for abstracts for conference, `Women’s Dignity (La dignidad de las mujeres)' Faculty of Law, University of Barcelona, 26 May 2026 (deadline 24 April 2026)
Particularly since WWII, constitutions and international instruments bestow on the concept of human dignity decisive normative weight, although they only go so far in determining its content. Unfortunately, courts settle disputes concerning sensitive aspects of human wellbeing in the name of conceptions of dignity that are not always disclosed, or coherent. Doctrinal and philosophical reasoning on dignity often evinces similar flaws.
In this workshop, we aim to expose the gender implications, presuppositions, or biases of the concept of human dignity in legal and moral argument.
We invite abstracts for short presentations (comunicaciones) in answer to the question: Is “Human Dignity” a Gendered Concept?

Call for abstracts for IVR 2026 Workshop, `Soft Law: At the Limits of Law ', Kadir Has University Istanbul June 28, 2026 - July 3, 2026 (deadline 15 May 2026)
A central difficulty concerns the use of soft law by international actors, courts, and administrative bodies. Normative theories that focus exclusively on the non-binding character of soft law struggle to explain its role when such instruments are relied upon in judicial reasoning or administrative decision-making. This difficulty is compounded by the heterogeneity of soft-law instruments, including reports, guidelines, advice, and recommendations, which do not neatly fit traditional categories of legal normativity.
At the same time, soft law raises important concerns for legal certainty and democratic legitimacy. Problems of publicity, uncertainty regarding legal effects, and the limited availability of legal controls over content pose clear challenges to liberal conceptions of the rule of law. Yet soft law may also appear more compatible with discursive or deliberative models of democratic governance, in which guidance, coordination, and persuasion play a central role.

The conference, organized by the Arendt Center as part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Project “Rewriting Rights” – explores the double sense in which feminist justice is “on trial” today — in courtrooms, where the performance and performativity of legal proceedings expose the structural limits of institutional justice, and in culture, where dominant narratives continue to normalize gendered violence. The conference aims to brings feminist philosophy and critical theory into dialogue with socio-legal perspectives to ask what more transformative forms of justice might look like.
