  • Crime and Punishment: The Creation and Transformation of Legal Regimes

    ORIAS @ UC Berkeley Berkeley, CA, United States

    This ORIAS summer institute will focus on the emergence and transformation of global legal regimes from the late 18th century to the present. Through the lens of crime and punishment, participants will learn about the historical processes through which legal regimes have been created, reinforced, negotiated, and expanded. We will also explore the role of global legal regimes in modern international issues including migration, natural resources, and climate change.

    Infrastructure and Society

    ORIAS @ UC Berkeley Berkeley, CA, United States

    What can we learn about present and past societies by examining their infrastructures? What does infrastructure tell us about imagined or intended futures? How does it change the society that creates and maintains it? What is the relationship between infrastructure and environment, and what happens when aspects of that environment change? Why do societies maintain and adapt some infrastructures, while abandoning others?

    This 4-day summer institute will explore these and other questions, considering infrastructures across place and time. It will include presentations by scholars, interactive activities, discussions, and two field trips to East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) sites.
