We are pleased to share that the Death & Law – Interdisciplinary Explorations Project was featured at the Critical Legal Conference 2025, held at the University of Exeter from 4–6 September. Dr Nevena Jevremović presented a paper entitled Treasures of Law after Death: Preliminary Reflections on the ‘Death and Law’ Project as part of the panel Treasures Found on Land, Treasure Lost at Sea: From Mining Regulations to Laws of Salvage, led by Dr Miroslaw Sadowoski (Strathclyde), one of the project’s collaborators. The panel used “treasures” as a metaphor to connect diverse critical and legal themes, reflecting the conference’s broad and imaginative programme.
The presentation highlighted the project’s contributions to current debates within critical legal theory, focusing on three research streams: the structural relationship between private law and nature, including non-anthropocentric approaches to death; law, death, and collective memory; and law, death, and emotions. Showcasing this work at CLC 2025 provided a valuable opportunity to share emerging research, strengthen the project’s engagement with critical legal theory, build new collaborations across fields, and position the University of Aberdeen as a leading interdisciplinary hub for research at the intersection of law, death, and the humanities.
