SUMMARY:RDV: Institutional Changes for Democratic Dialogue (Roberto Gargarella)
DESCRIPTION:We welcome you to our RDV seminar with Professor Roberto Gargarella. He will present the new project he is awarded by the European Research Council (ERC Advanced Grant): “Institutional Changes for Democratic Dialogue». The project aims to make constitutionalism more sensitive to growing democratic demands\, by offering concrete institutional alternatives to channel the demands of democracy and engage with activists and members of civil society\, from a conception of democracy as a “conversation between equals”. The project stems from the deep crisis affecting constitutional democracies around the world and manifests itself both in a growing lack of confidence in constitutionalism and in an increase in citizens’ dissatisfaction with democracy. The ultimate goal is to design institutional proposals that are both respectful of individual rights and the decisions resulting from democratic dialogue. \nRoberto Gargarella\, a full professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Buenos Aires\, teaches at Universidad Torcuato Di Tella in Argentina\, and is the director of the “Institutional Changes for Democratic Dialogue» project at the Department of Law at Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona. https://www.biennaldepensament.barcelona/en/participants/roberto-gargarella \n  \nHow to participate:  At Jekteviksbakken 31 or zoom.  \nTo receive a zoom invitation to the RDV-webinar\, please contact discretion@uib.no. \nIf the Zoom application is new to you\, we recommend that you press the link well before the events to download the program. You may leave and rejoin the meeting at any time. \nThe webinar is part of the RDV-webinar series – a collaboration between DIPA (UiB) and LawTransform (UiB).

SUMMARY:RDV: Abolition of child protection - The ultimate denial of child rights
DESCRIPTION:In the early 2000s the main narrative in the field of child welfare was an optimistic one. It was believed that families could become stronger if they received help in the form of economic and social support. Child welfare professionals could work together with parents in a respectful\, generous\, and culturally sensitive way. It was also believed that parents could change for the better if they were offered a restorative\, healing approach rather than a strict\, punitive response. This approach was meant to be more helpful and supportive to families. \nAlthough there are many who still share this view\, there is also a growing condemnation of child welfare. Some view\, everything about child welfare as wrong\, counter-productive – even a violation of human rights. What’s even more worrying is that the abolitionist viewpoint makes an important error trying to find simple solutions for a very complex issue\, namely\, how to keep kids safe and their families healthy and stable within the context of the flawed national history in the US related to poverty and race. Just as the child welfare field once relied too heavily on family separation\, the abolition school of thought would rid the US of its legally mandated obligation to child safety. \nThe child welfare system in the US has had decades of attempts toward reform\, however the reforms have not gone far enough\, nor have they had the widespread or deep effects that many of us want to see. Still\, if we are going to abandon the current child welfare system\, we must address some of the critical questions that have escaped the profession for decades and helped to drive the call for its end. \nJoin us for a thought-provoking seminar that delves into the pressing issues surrounding child welfare today! \nJill D. Berrick is a Distinguished Professor and the Zellerbach Family Foundation Professor of Social Welfare\, UC Berkeley\, and Professor II at the Department of Government\, University of Bergen. Her research focuses on the child welfare system and efforts to improve the experiences of children and families touched by foster care. Her interests target the intersection of poverty\, childhood development\, parenting and the service systems designed to address family well-being. For over three decades Dr. Berrick has conducted a range of studies examining child welfare services for vulnerable families. She has written or co-written 112 books and numerous articles on topics relating to family poverty\, child maltreatment and child welfare. https://socialwelfare.berkeley.edu/people/jill-duerr-berrick \nHow to participate:  At Jekteviksbakken 31 or Zoom.  \nTo receive a zoom invitation to the RDV-webinar\, please contact discretion@uib.no. \nIf the Zoom application is new to you\, we recommend that you press the link well before the events to download the program.

SUMMARY:Courts as Champions of Women\, Children\, and Marginalised Groups by Brenda Hale
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, October 27th\, former President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom\, Lady Brenda Hale\, Baroness Hale of Richmond will be the Department of Government’s esteemed speaker at the General Seminar in Politics and Government. \nLady Hale is a trailblazer in British law and achieved several historic milestones throughout her career. She notably became the first woman to serve as President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom\, a position she held from 2017 until her retirement in 2020. \nShe received her education at Richmond High School for Girls in North Yorkshire and Girton College\, Cambridge\, where she currently holds the position of Visitor. Lady Hale was called to the Bar by Gray’s Inn\, where she was Treasurer in 2017. For nearly two decades\, she taught Law at Manchester University for 18 years\, specialising in family and social welfare law\, and also practiced at the Manchester Bar for a period. \nIn 1984\, she made history as the first woman to join the Law Commission\, which promotes legal reform. Here she played an important role which led to the Children Act of 1989 and the Mental Capacity Act 2005. She was also a founder member of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority and chair of its Code of Practice Committee from 1990 until 1994\, when she was appointed a Judge of the Family Division of the High Court. She was promoted to the Court of Appeal of England and Wales in 1999 and in 2004 became a ‘Lord of Appeal in Ordinary’ in the House of Lords. This was the top court for the whole United Kingdom\, until the ‘Law Lords’ became the Justices of the newly established Supreme Court of the United Kingdom in 2009. She became its Deputy President in 2013 and President in 2017. \nWhile at Manchester University she was joint founding editor of the Journal of Social Welfare and Family Law and authored a number of books\, including The Family\, Law and Society: Cases and Materials and Women and the Law. In 2004\, she helped to establish the United Kingdom Association of Women Judges and from 2010 to 2012 served as President of the International Association of Women Judges\, a world-wide body of both men and women judges committed to equality and human rights for all. A practising member of the Church of England\, she has always taken an interest in religion and the law\, and has written and spoken on the subject many times. \nThroughout her career\, Lady Hale’s impact has reached beyond national boundaries. Her principled stance and intellectual contributions have solidified her legacy as a pioneering figure in the legal community. Through a close connection to academia\, she has provided lectures on justice\, human rights and the legal system\, enriching the discourse in those critical areas. \nTopic of the General Seminar:  \nCourts as Champions of Women\, Children\, and Marginalised Groups \nBoth in legal theory and in practice\, courts are crucial for the protection of vulnerable groups and insular minorities. Most societies give special protection in law to certain groups\, such as children\, religious minorities\, and indigenous peoples\, while for others\, the legal protection is less clear\, for example when it comes to undocumented migrants and future (climate affected) generations. Minority protection are often perceived as threatening important societal interests (parental rights\, the natural family\, security\, economic growth\, green transformation) and increasingly place courts at the centre of heated political contestations. Diverging views between the European Court of Human Right and domestic courts on whose rights should prevail and what the State’s obligations are\, add complexity. How should courts navigate\, when the rights of vulnerable groups place the judiciary at risk of politicization?
