ABOUT THE EVENT

A Chat with the Author” is an online discussion series dedicated to exploring new scholarship that expands how we understand international law through critical perspectives. Each session centres on a recently published piece of work, introduced by its author, and followed by an open conversation.
The aim is to create a collaborative space for collective thinking, reflective engagement, and the shared development of ideas. Through these exchanges, the organisers seek to foster community within international law and encourage thoughtful conversations across disciplinary perspectives.

The series is open to all, and we particularly welcome ESIL members to join us in these conversations.

The second chat, taking place online via Zoom, is scheduled for 21 April 2026 at 10:00 AM CEST and 04:00 PM Hong Kong SAR / Macau SAR, with Yilin Wang, Assistant Professor at University of Macau, who will introduce her piece “Locating TWAIL Scholarship in China: it is highly recommended to read the text in advance as the event intends to be a conversation rather than a presentation.
