About the series
The HLS PILAC series of fireside chats, scheduled for Spring of 2021, is intended to showcase an array of innovative perspectives in the field of international law and armed conflict. This series is open to the public. Invited speakers will take part in an informal discussion over Zoom with HLS PILAC faculty or staff. Each session will feature an invited speaker asked to give a quick overview of their work, followed by an informal discussion on the work, broader themes in this area of law, and related issues. Current HLS students will also be invited to ask questions pertaining to the speaker’s recent or current work. Each event will be scheduled for 60 minutes and will be conducted via Zoom’s video meeting system. It is anticipated that the event will be recorded, and audio and audio-video recordings of the event may be made publicly available.
Convened by the Harvard Law School Program on International Law and Armed Conflict.
