The past decade has witnessed a surge of scientific inquiry on aspects of legal geography, including work by human geographers and legal scholars as well as sociologists, criminologists, and anthropologists, among others. This area of research has historically addressed the spatial and human dynamics surrounding various legal phenomena, including property, racial segregation and discrimination, policing practices, prison settings, and various other relevant aspects of society (urban, home, borders, etc.). The proposed workshop will advance the study of legal geography by exploring several new perspectives on spatiality. The present focus engages contemporary spatial theory to expand conceptions of space to include the domains of meaning, representation, discourse, and ideology. In this context, the proposed workshop will encourage collaboration in new areas of socio-legal inquiry, including environmental, civil rights, immigration, international, punishment, intellectual property, and labor laws. The workshop will bring together social and spatial scientists, and legal scholars, to discuss these new perspectives and to explore diverse methodological approaches to addressing such issues. The intellectual merit of this workshop proposal rests on its ability to engage an emerging field of interdisciplinary social science and the law, and to encourage further social and spatial science theory that might enhance our understanding of the development and implementation of law. The workshop will promote the inclusion of junior scholars in this area, and has great potential for improving the training and practice of law.

过去十年见证了对法律地理学各个方面的科学探究的激增，包括人文地理学家和法律学者以及社会学家、犯罪学家和人类学家等的工作。 该研究领域历来关注各种法律现象的空间和人类动态，包括财产、种族隔离和歧视、治安​​实践、监狱环境以及社会的各种其他相关方面（城市、家庭、边界等）。拟议的研讨会将通过探索空间性的几个新视角来推进法律地理学的研究。目前的重点是利用当代空间理论来扩展空间概念，将空间概念纳入意义、表征、话语和意识形态领域。 在此背景下，拟议的研讨会将鼓励社会法律调查新领域的合作，包括环境、公民权利、移民、国际、惩罚、知识产权和劳动法。 该研讨会将汇集社会和空间科学家以及法律学者，讨论这些新观点并探索解决这些问题的多种方法。该研讨会提案的智力价值在于其能够参与跨学科社会科学和法律的新兴领域，并鼓励进一步的社会和空间科学理论，从而增强我们对法律发展和实施的理解。 该研讨会将促进年轻学者融入该领域，对于改善法律培训和实践具有巨大潜力。
