The theme of EPLC 2025 is ‘Reframing Narratives: Viewing Law in a Different Light’.

The narratives that shape our understanding of law are often dominated by biased accounts that neglect viewpoints from the Global South, minorities, and historically oppressed groups. Challenging and deconstructing prevailing narratives about the law is essential to fostering a more inclusive and equitable world. Such interrogation occurs across a number of different disciplines, lenses, and theoretical and practical approaches that challenge mainstream legal paradigms. Contemporary challenges such as climate change, migration, armed conflicts, and rapidly advancing technology require us to question our prevailing views as to what law is and what it should be. As such, the Edinburgh Post Graduate Law Conference (EPLC) 2025 seeks to join the discussion surrounding challenging and reframing narratives in law.
