Western Academy Ideas Series: The Limits of Law
Room: 6111
What can fiction tell us about the complexities of transitional justice? Join us for this discussion on "The Limits of the Law: Recent Fiction on the West German Prosecution of Nazi Atrocities" by Western Academy post-doctoral scholar Pascal Michelberger.
About the speaker: Dr. Pascal Michelberger is a recent PhD graduate of Western University’s program in Comparative Literature (Department of Languages and Cultures). In his research, located at the intersection of literary studies, legal studies, and history, he highlights the ways in which the examination of fictional and non-fictional sources with the tools of scholarship rooted in the humanities can offer meaningful perspectives on conflict, peace, and the rule of law.
