Legal Intersections

Special Issue editor, Richard Mohr

This special issue of Law Text Culture explores the relationships between theory, research and action in the context of intersectional research methodologies and the nexus.

Contributions explore the boundaries and connections between these related aspects of legal research. They discuss and critically assess the diverse research methods which can be employed in law-related research from 'conventional' legal doctrinal analysis to methods of empirical data collection and analysis drawn from other disciplines. They consider the theoretical foundations and practical implications of intersectional research in law.

Contributors have been encouraged to approach these issues from the perspective of their own research experience.

In addition to essays exploring research issues, this issue includes related poetry and artwork. Illustrating the theme of different ways of seeing the social and legal world, there are depictions of the justice system from a photographer judge, from indigenous artists, and from historic maps. In their own ways, each refers to relations between law, land and other spatial relationships.
