Innovative teaching on law & social change

LawTransform and partner institutions in Brazil, the USA, South Africa and India won an INTPART grant (2018-21) to collaborate on strengthening their teaching in the field of Law & Social Change. The ambition is to improve and develop new models for research-integrated teaching, starting with the Bergen Exchanges PhD course on “Effects of Lawfare”. In this session, which launches the project, presents the core ideas of the program and challenges students of this year’s Bergen Exchanges PhD course to point to new directions. This project is supported by the Norwegian Centre for International Cooperation in Education (SIU) and the Research Council of Norway.
