Pinochet’s regime silenced Chile’s emerging #LawAndSociety field. 50 years later, LSA grantees João Vitor Cardoso and Salvador Millaleo are reclaiming and restoring Chile’s rich tradition of #Sociolegal scholarship.

Wonderful tributes from colleagues at Matrix chambers for Professor Conor Gearty.
So shocked Conor Gearty has died
He was a fearless lawyer, teacher and writer
He was also one of the wittiest, smartest people you’d ever meet. It was an honour to call him a friend
I will miss him, terribly. Thoughts with his family, in London and Longford

If you have to airdrop humanitarian aid, which is ineffective, expensive, and potentially deadly for starving people, into a territory your ally occupies, then one of two things is true:
1. That’s not really your ally.
2. You’re not actually interested in delivering humanitarian aid.

Really interesting fresh findings from Chile showing how exposure to repressive public order policing can have escalatory dynamics, particularly through the effect it has on groups not initially inclined to justify violence 👇
1/11 How does justification of violence against the police change when you live near protests that are actively policed?
In this article, just published in @sfjournal.bsky.social, we address this question using the 2019 Chilean social uprising as a case study.
