Spaces of Rights and Responsibilities Beyond Territory
2½-day interdisciplinary workshop
June 17 (afternoon)-19 (early afternoon) 2026 – Nuremberg
The workshop “Where Human Rights Take Place: Spaces of Rights and Responsibilities Beyond Territory” examines how human rights can be reconceptualized in light of mobility, digital networks, global infrastructures, and planetary environmental crises. It questions territorially bounded understandings of jurisdiction and explores how rights, responsibility, and accountability are produced and contested within transnational, socio-technical, and more-than-human spatial configurations. Bringing together perspectives from human rights research, geography, law, and related fields, the workshop treats space as relational, politically contested, and materially mediated rather than as a neutral container.
