Socio-Legal Review’s Latest Issue is Out Now: Volume 20(1)

The Editorial Board of the Socio-Legal Review (SLR) is delighted to share the publication of their latest issue: Volume 20(1).

The Socio-Legal Review (SLR) is a student-run, double blind peer-reviewed journal, of NLSIU. SLR enters its twentieth year of publication with this Volume. This important milestone galvanised the Editorial Board 2023- 24 to not only build on the two decades of foundational insight and work that has gone into the making of the Journal, but also rethink and experiment. This year, in conversations with the Faculty Board, the editorial board revised their Aims and Scope to more clearly emphasise the interdisciplinary thrust of the Journal, welcoming research that “critically enquires into the intersections between the law and the social sciences, especially in the South Asian context.”

Volume 20(1) demonstrates this push toward interdisciplinarity through the sheer diversity of its authorship, methods, problems, and form. The six contributions in this Issue bring together insights from science and technology studies, legal history and writing pedagogy, empirical social sciences and philosophy, ethnographic fieldwork, queer and gender studies, and political theory to examine real questions concerning the world today—from data governance to higher education, legal reform to forest rights, marriage equality to constitutional democracy. We hope that the Issue demonstrates how interdisciplinarity, when done well, can enrich our study of the law and indeed, of the world at large.
