The univers-city conferences : the person and his or her rights
Venue: CY Cergy Paris Université, Chênes 1, Cergy
Study session coordinated by Valérie MENES-REDORAT and Maïté SAULIER, CY LEJEP laboratory.
University legal research is all too often confined to the university, or even to the community of teacher-researchers alone. However, certain topics can be of particular interest to professionals, members of public authorities or associations, students of various disciplines, and even the general public. Specializing in the field of human rights, both historically (Valérie Ménès) and currently (Maïté Saulier), the two teacher-researchers in charge of the project are keen to make university knowledge more accessible by making it more relevant to the community, and at the same time to enrich their research with the field perspectives it may generate, hence the name Univers-cité chosen for this project.

The format would consist in organizing conferences, at the rate of one meeting per semester. The starting point will be work done by students in the Health and Personal Protection Law Master's program (M1 and M2), who will report on existing research on a given theme. This presentation, supervised by us, will be coupled with contributions from professionals and the general public, providing food for thought in a multi-disciplinary context, in tune with social reality and professional issues.
The chosen theme - the individual and his or her rights - will be broken down into several topics of study, on which the teacher-researchers in charge of the project have already worked or plan to work: women and punishment, the end of life, intersectionality and parenthood. (see attached CV and list of publications). The subjects chosen are at the heart of legislative concerns and are the subject of discussions and/or bills (active aid in dying, child protection, gender equality, discrimination). This makes it all the more essential to make them part of the community.
