3rd Episode: Territory

Exploring Foundations for Reconfigurations and Reorientations in the Digital World

07.04.2025

In our third episode, we are delighted to welcome Dr. Gail Lythgoe, a Lecturer in Global Law at the University of Edinburgh, for an engaging discussion on the intersections of international law, global governance, and emerging technologies. Drawing from her extensive research on the Rebirth of Territory (see her recent book published with CUP in 2024), Dr. Lythgoe sets the foundations for powerful reorientation for our understanding of territory and questions its reconfiguration in the digital world.
