Iberian Nights begins on Sep­tember 11 with a con­ver­sation on and with Ada M. Kuskowski’s ground­breaking Ver­nacular Law: Writing and the Rein­vention of Cus­tomary Law in Medieval France (Cam­bridge UP, 2022). Prof. Kuskowski has also shared with us some insights about her book. Lindsay Stern, aca­demic, nov­elist, and poet, will be at the helm of this session, for which she has also pro­posed a cre­ative approach to Kuskowski’s book in her Living Law. Dis­tin­guished Pro­fessor of Law at Berkeley Laurent Mayali will join in the con­ver­sation from his expertise on cus­tomary and com­par­ative law, addressing some important points about this ground­breaking book. Tom Johnson, his­torian from York Uni­versity, wants to say A little thing on justice reading both the book and its internal poetry. Join us for this won­derful event on Monday, Sep­tember 11th at 5pm, 320 York street, HQ 276.
