Culture, History, and Theory
Researchers at the UVic Faculty of Law embrace an interdisciplinary approach to understanding law in its social context. Adopting a broad and pluralistic conception of law, faculty research is informed by a variety of theoretical perspectives ranging from traditional jurisprudence and legal philosophy to post-colonial theory and critical animal studies. Faculty share a deep commitment to exploring the relationship between law, culture, and forms of knowledge production. Historical approaches to understanding law are another research strength of the Faculty.
