Yesterday writers, lawyers and academics met in the Abbey's Peacock Stage to discuss Sophocles' Antigone. Dialogues between Darren Murphy and Eugene McNulty; Marina Carr and Melissa Sihra; Carlo Gébler and Paul Delaney. Thanks to everyone who came along. @irishhumanities.bsky.social

As #internationallaw is put on pressure, Sophocles’ Antigone is an age-old referent of its material source.

And a reminder that you can deny/diminish its effective power as ‘higher law’ but you cannot eliminate its heartbeat.

Great to see this new UK-based international grouping. We'll look forward to seeing what you do, sharing ideas, and hopefully working with you down the line.
Very exciting, there is a new learned society in legal studies, the Legal Humanities Association. It's based in the UK but very explicitly international in focus. It aims to foster a community dedicated to cultural understandings of law. legalhumanities.com
