Virtual Summer Academy

APPEAL is excited to announce the virtual Summer Academy on Law, Money and Technology: Transforming Political Economy 13^th-17^th July 2020 (Monday-Friday), hosted jointly by APPEAL, the University of Manchester, the Institute for New Economic Thinking Young Scholars Initiative (Law, Finance, and Economics Working Group).

This event builds on our 2019 Summer Academy on Law and Money, with the goal of further developing conversations and community in the emerging field of political economy and law. In particularly, we aim of explore how the interconnections between law, money and technology shapes the power to respond to contemporary political economic and social challenges.

Each day will feature zoom sessions of 1.5 hours, with short presentations by panels of speakers and ample time for discussion, in addition to two informal Happy Hour sessions on Monday and Friday. Themes include: Know Your Allies; Algorithmic Governance, The Money Side of Things; Know Your Opposition; and Other Disciplinary Couplings.

The full program is available online here
