International Law and Political Engagement (ILPE) series: In Conversation with Dr Jean Ho: On Knowledge Production in International Economic Law's image

Description:	A series of conversations on international legal scholarship, political engagement and the transformative potential of academia. Each conversation is chaired by Francisco José Quintana and Marina Veličković and centres around a theme, concept or a method and their relationship to political movements, struggles and margins from which they have emerged and within (and for) which they have emancipatory potential. The conversation will explore the relationship between knowledge production, critical scholarship, and change in international economic law — focusing on investor-state dispute settlement and international investment law more generally. We will explore how inequalities in access to knowledge and resources have shaped the opportunities for resistance in international investment law, how these inequalities have led to particular outcomes of institutional design, and explore the surrounding discourse and scholarship on political economy and international investment law. Marina and Francisco will lead the conversation for ~45 minutes after which they will pass the responsibility on to the audience. This session will be hosted online via Zoom Webinar. Pre-registration is required.
