UID:13ba-ba8e-2245-12420@www.humanrights.fau.de
DESCRIPTION:Where Human Rights Take Place: Spaces of Rights and Respon
 sibilities Beyond Territory 2½-day interdisciplinary workshop\; June 
 17 (afternoon) -19 (early afternoon) 2026 – Nuremberg Organized 
 within the Cluster of Excellence Transforming Human Rights FAU Erlan
 gen-Nürnberg Call for Papers: Submit an abstract by 15.03.2026. Furth
 er information below. Background How can human rights be conceptualize
 d in a world shaped by mobility\, digital networks\, global infrastruc
 tures\, and planetary environmental crises? Territorial conceptions of
  space\, long central to human rights law and governance\, are increas
 ingly challenged by spatial configurations that exceed jurisdictional 
 borders and destabilize established assumptions about responsibility a
 nd accountability. While international human rights law remains largel
 y framed around territorial jurisdiction\, rights are more and more ex
 ercised and harms produced in contexts that elude clear territorial de
 finition. This workshop stems from the observation that prevailing hum
 an rights frameworks insufficiently capture the spatial conditions und
 er which rights are produced\, limited\, and contested today. It explo
 res how thinking with and through space can contribute to reframing co
 re concepts of human rights\, responsibility\, and accountability\, pa
 rticularly in contexts where power\, agency\, risk\, and harm are dist
 ributed across transnational\, socio-technical\, and more-than-human c
 onfigurations. Workshop Focus The workshop brings together scholars fr
 om human rights research\, geography\, law\, and related social scienc
 es and humanities to engage with contemporary spatial debates that cha
 llenge territorially-bounded understandings of rights and responsibili
 ty in the human rights context. Rather than treating space as a neutra
 l container\, this workshop will build on approaches that conceptualiz
 e space as relationally produced\, materially and technologically medi
 ated\, historically situated\, and politically contested. A ce
