The Sociology of Law Department receives 50,000 SEK (€4,300) in faculty mobility funds to invite Sergio Jarillo de la Torre, a postdoctoral research fellow at the School of Geography, University of Melbourne. His background is in social anthropology, law, and art history, and he has spent over ten years doing fieldwork in Papua New Guinea, the Marshall Islands and Mozambique.
During his two-week stay at the Department in June 2025, he will work on a research proposal with Ana Maria Vargas Falla. The presumptive project intends to study the role of living law in everyday adaptations to climate change in Oceania and the Amazon. In the autumn of next year, staff in the Sociology of Law Department and the School of Geography, University of Melbourne, will have an online workshop to discuss the research proposal.
The Vice-Chancellor finances the faculty mobility fund to strengthen collaboration between Lund University and its partner universities: the National University of Singapore, UC Berkeley, and the University of Melbourne.
