Spring 2024 Legal Humanities: Unnatural Law

Collegium Institute invites you to apply for the Spring 2024 Legal Humanities Fellowship. This semester we will read legal theorists not often discussed in philosophy of law classes, including Carl Schmitt, Peter Kropotkin, Joseph de Maistre, and more. By examining the claims of these theorists on how law is or should be structured, readers can study their perspectives on the morality of humans as a whole. Is the human person inherently good or evil? How should we structure a legal system with this in mind? Join us as we explore legal theories from anarcho-communism to theocratic monarchism and everything in between.

The Work of the Hands: The Ordinary and Divine in Contemporary Art

The Collegium Institute and Dappled Things invite you to join us for this online panel featuring four artists, working across four different mediums: Kara Patrowicz, fiber artist, Daniel Mitsui, illustrator, Matilde Olivera, sculptor, and Caleb Kortokrax, painter. In this Ars Vivendi Arts Initiative conversation, we will explore the relationship, particularly in these traditional mediums, and historically religious forms, of the tactile, ordinariness of these materials, but the ways in which in the hands of an artist they are transformed into things of beauty and may even help us commune with the divine.
