Diversity and Law
Module coordinator: Professor Esther van Zimmeren
You can explore diversity from several perspectives and in different legal domains within the module ‘Diversity and Law’. We will do so by investigating together the role of legal professionals in tackling “wicked” societal problems (i.e. climate change, inequality, poverty, migration). You will study the interaction between genders, sexualities and the law by learning about feminist theory and jurisprudence, by analysing selected fundamental legal debates, and by studying the relevant legal framework in complex areas such as multi-parenthood. You will explore how combining an interdisciplinary approach with an analysis of administrative law, urban planning, consumer law, data protection law and human rights can contribute to turning cities into more inclusive and sustainable cities. You will also gain new insights into the essential field of international and European immigration and asylum law. The legal clinic in asylum or migration law will help you to understand better the implications of this complex area of the law in practice.
