The Law, Humanities and Social Sciences Collective at Maharashtra National Law University Mumbai is back with the Third edition of its Virtual Symposium being hosted on 11th and 12th October, 2025 to explore the crises and challenges of law in contemporary times.
About LHSS Collective
Available research on the intersection of law with humanities and social sciences remains focused on and originates from the Global North. Perspectives from the Global South remain marginal to such discussions. MNLU Mumbai’s Law, Humanities and Social Sciences Collective seeks to redress this imbalance by providing platforms for expression and exchange of ideas that craft and critique interdisciplinary approaches from a Global South perspective.
About Virtual Symposium
The LHSS International Symposium is a two-day virtual event that brings together scholars, students, and legal professionals to explore the dynamic interplay between law and social sciences. Building on the success of the first two editions, this edition of the competition, being held on 11th – 12th October 2025, aims to foster a deeper understanding of crises faced by law. Over the period of two days, this symposium would feature some of the prominent voices in the field. The LHSS Collective hereby invites abstracts for the paper presentation at the Symposium. The topic chosen must explore the intersection of law and humanities or social sciences. For further details regarding submission guidelines and registration portal, please refer to this brochure.
