Travel, Accommodation & Other Information
Available Accommodation: You need to act fast as to this matter to ensure that you secure accommodation for the day or the day before. We were hoping to offer a lot more accommodation option on the University campus but the prolonged disruption earlier of the industrial dispute here has meant that many rooms are not going to be available on the 15th. There are few rooms available for the day on campus and you can apply for one here:
Single and double on-campus rooms can be booked directly at: https://kenthospitality.kent.ac.uk/KxBnB/
And also here: https://www.kent.ac.uk/campusonline/news.html?view=2631
Otherwise there are options in town, some of which are detailed below:
In terms of local hotels, The Falstaff is very convenient for anyone travelling by train and offers free parking for guests (phone 01227 462138 or email [email protected]).
House of Agnes (phone 01227 472185 or email [email protected]) is also close to the City Centre and offers limited off-road parking for guests.
Premier Inn Canterbury City Centre

https://www.premierinn.com/gb/en/hotels/england/kent/canterbury/canterbury-city-centre.html
There are a number of other hotels and ‘bed & breakfasts’ in Canterbury city available. St Stephen's Guest House is an affordable Bed and Breakfast guest house close to the University, and The City of Canterbury Guest House is literally opposite the entrance to the University (limited parking available). You can look up for more through online sites or a Google search.
In the event that you do not find accommodation in Canterbury, you can also look up for hotels or Bed and Breakfasts in Whitstable (lovely town by the sea) which is nearby. There are also regular buses from Whitstable to campus and to Canterbury city centre which take around 30 minutes (buses number 4 and the Triangle service).
And ultimately you can choose to stay in London if you prefer as the train journey from King’s Cross/St.Pancras is a very short one (50 or so minutes) to Canterbury West.

Our Guest Scholars
Prof. D. Ashiagbor
Diamond is the author of the monograph The European Employment Strategy: Labour Market Regulation and New Governance, which won the Peter Birks/Society of Legal Scholars Prize for Outstanding Legal Scholarship 2006. Her current projects include a monograph on ‘Social rights and the market: Embedding trade liberalisation in regional labour law’, interrogating the social dimension of regional economic integration: how markets may be embedded within, constituted by, and ameliorated through the ‘social’, in particular by labour law and social policy, with a focus on integration within sub-Saharan Africa.
Diamond’s research interests lie in the areas of labour/employment law; labour law, trade and development; human rights, equality and multiculturalism; economic sociology of law; law and the humanities. She has long worked within the socio-legal tradition and is coordinating a project which explores labour law’s conceptual and normative narrative in light of the continued dominance of informal work in the global South, and increased informalisation in the global North. The related symposium, on Re-imagining labour law for development: informal work in the global North and South, was the Society of Legal Scholars Annual Seminar for 2016. In addition, she is also keen to find ways to bring together law and the humanities, and co-founded a speaker series on Telling stories about law and development, including scholars from political theory, philosophy and sociology. She has also been a visitor to, and is working with scholars in, the Institute for International Law and the Humanities (IILaH), Melbourne Law School. She is a member of the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Grant Assessment Panel; and of the Editorial Board of Feminist Legal Studies. Select publications
Prof. M. de Goede
Marieke is Professor of Political Science at the University of Amsterdam, where she co-directs the Transnational Configurations research group [TCCG]. She received her PhD from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in 2001. She has researched European security practices for over 15 years, with a focus on the politics of countering terrorism, financial intelligence and the role of banks in security. She is Associate Editor of Security Dialogue [Security Dialogue]. Current projects: Marieke is Principal Investigator of FOLLOW: Following the Money from Transaction to Trial (ERC-CoG 682317). FOLLOW uses the notion of a Chain of Security in order to conceptualise the ways in which security judgements are made across public/private domains. FOLLOW analyses the trajectory of the suspicious transaction across private and public spheres. It follows the ‘chain of translation’ whereby a transaction is rendered, for example, from simple digital bank registration, to suspicious transaction, to court evidence. Within this project Marieke is particularly interested in (i.a.) notions of temporality and knowledge in legal proceedings relating to terrorism facilitation and financing. For more information, see www.projectfollow.org Selected Publications: Marieke is author of Speculative Security: the Politics of Pursuing Terrorist Monies (University of Minnesota Press, 2012) [UMP]. Publications with an interdisciplinary legal theme include:

Prof. K. Bedford
Kate holds a Chair in Law at Birmingham Law School, but she is not a lawyer. She holds a PhD in political science from Rutgers, though she is not a political scientist. She is a disciplinary misfit. Her research interests are in the areas of socio-legal studies, political economy, and gender/sexuality. She has conducted research on gender and sexuality in development lending in Latin America, and on international debates about care policy. She has a particular interest in the World Bank’s gender and development lending. More recently, she has explored the gendered political economy of gambling regulation, by using commercial and non-commercial bingo to think in new ways about the regulation of everyday speculation. Funded by a large ESRC grant, she and a team of researchers and Kent Law School have explored bingo regulation around the world (see https://www.kent.ac.uk/thebingoproject/). She is currently finalizing a monograph on this topic, and she hopes that you will share your bingo stories with her.

Prof. E. Cloatre
Emilie is Professor in Law at Kent Law School and a socio-legal scholar whose main research interests lie in the intersection between law and contemporary 'science and society' issues, including pharmaceutical flows, access to health, and the politics of climate change regulation. Her approach to law is influenced by insights from Science and Technology Studies, and in particular by Actor-Network Theory. Her publications include Pills for the Poorest: an Exploration of TRIPS and access to Medicines in sub-Saharan African (Palgrave McMillan, 2013 - awarded the 2014 Hart Socio-Legal Book prize) and Knowledge, Technology and Law (Routledge, 2014, with Martyn Pickersgill). She is currently Principal Investigator for 5-year Wellcome Trust project (Investigator Award, 2017-2022) entitled “Law, knowledges and the making of ‘modern’ healthcare: regulating traditional and alternative medicines in contemporary contexts”. This project aims to explore the regulation of traditional and alternative medicines in Europe and Africa, interrogating both the historical and socio-cultural context of current regulatory systems, and their effects on local practices. It will do so through a socio-legal exploration of the regulation of traditional and alternative medicines in two regions where policy conversations have been particularly intense, and current regulatory systems remarkably varied (Europe and Africa). It will focus on six case studies, in three sub-regions that offer an overview both of the diversity of contexts in which those questions arise, and of the diversity in regulatory responses that states have adopted: France and England; Ghana and Senegal and Mauritius and La Reunion. For more information on the project, see the project website. Before joining Kent in 2010, she was a lecturer at the School of Law, University of Nottingham, and ESRC postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Science and Society, University of Nottingham. She has held visiting positions at the Centre for the Study of Law and Society, University of California at Berkeley; the Genomics Forum, University of Edinburgh; the School of Law, University of Singapore; and the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration. She is principal investigator for the AHRC Network Technoscience, Law and Society: Interrogating the Nexus. Select Publications
