This book brings together thirteen scholars of law, history, and politics in order to reconsider the history, theory, and contemporary relevance of legal extraterritoriality. Situating questions of extraterritoriality in a set of broader investigations into state-building, imperialist rivalry, capitalist expansion, and human rights protection, it tracks the multiple meanings and functions of a distinct and far-reaching mode of legal authority. The fundamental aim of the volume is to examine the different geographical contexts in which extraterritorial regimes have developed, the political and economic pressures in response to which such regimes have grown, the highly uneven distributions of extraterritorial privilege that have resulted from these processes, and the complex theoretical quandaries to which this type of privilege has given rise.
The volume is edited by Daniel S. Margolies (Professor of History, Virginia Wesleyan University), Umut Özsu (Assistant Professor of Law and Legal Studies, Carleton University), Maïa Pal (Senior Lecturer in International Relations, Oxford Brookes University), and Ntina Tzouvala (Postdoctoral Fellow in International Law, University of Melbourne).
Contributors include Ellen Gutterman (Associate Professor of Political Science at Glendon College, York University), John Haskell (Senior Lecturer in Law, University of Manchester), Richard S. Horowitz (Professor of History, California State University, Northridge), Daniel S. Margolies (Professor of History, Virginia Wesleyan University), Kate Miles (Fellow and Lecturer in Law, Gonville and Caius College, University of Cambridge), Maïa Pal (Senior Lecturer in International Relations, Oxford Brookes University), Alice M. Panepinto (Lecturer in Law, Queen’s University Belfast), Austen L. Parrish (Dean and James H. Rudy Professor of Law, Indiana University), Sara L. Seck (Associate Professor of Law, Dalhousie University), Péter D. Szigeti (Assistant Professor of Law, University of Alberta), Mai Taha (Assistant Professor of Law, American University in Cairo), Ntina Tzouvala (Postdoctoral Fellow in International Law, University of Melbourne), and Ezgi Yildiz (Postdoctoral Researcher in Political Science and International Relations, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva).

http://www.brookes.ac.uk/HSS/Events/-The-Space-of-Biopolitics%E2%80%8B--Symposium/
"Our contemporary world is witness to spatial re-configurations on an unprecedented scale: the enforcement of borders and internment camps, the displacement of populations on a scale not seen since the world wars. Towns and cities creak and groan under the pressures of outdated infrastructure, regional inequalities increase societal tensions and create new forms of politics, and the individual biological body is increasingly forced into precarious forms of existence.
The workshop seeks to interrogate the ‘space’ of this amorphous, and yet discrete, subject of biopolitics that shapes our current world from the perspectives of the Anthropocene, jurisdiction, urban design, or atmospheric living, among others, and drawing on varying academic backgrounds such as law, architecture, politics, and philosophy."
There is no registration required and the event is open to all. A full programme is yet to be confirmed.
