Friday 29 November, 10am-5pm

Where can we find legal histories? Historians look far beyond legal papers, often venturing into unexpected places – whether geographical, archival, theoretical or interdisciplinary. This conference takes us from the depths of the ocean to the surface of the moon, from boxes of sweets to eBay surprises, from passport records to popular fiction and beyond.
This is the fifth annual Diversities, Dilemmas and Discoveries conference hosted by the Open University legal histories research cluster.
Sept 24- 25th 2024: I co-organised the SimBio-M 7th conference, which was held Online. With Prof Christophe Bastien (Coventry University), Prof Michel Behr (Université Gustave Eiffel), Prof Kambiz Kayvantash (Hexagon) and Prof Evin Morgane (Université Aix Marseille), on new technologies, advances and tools in the various fields of Simulation in Biosciences and Multiphysics, notably in the areas of BioMechanics, BioMaterials, and BioMedicine.
