The Research Project

The idea that each of us has a rich inner life made up of unmanifested thoughts, emotions, hopes and desires is a profoundly important socio-cultural narrative that has shaped how we understand ourselves and our social institutions.

To illustrate legal change, we use developments in the field of personality rights as a case study.

 

We will track and interpret the significance of legal developments (as they pertain to the idea of the inner self) across the following six bodies of Jurisprudence:
