Culture, Society and Intellectual Property
A Collaborative Research Network of the Law and
Society Association
This web page is devoted to the promotion and dissemination of
multi-disciplinary research relating to intellectual property.
Perspectives currently represented include political theory,
economics, sociology, history, anthropology, and cultural studies
and other perspectives are welcome. Please send an e-mail to Shubha
Ghosh sghosh@smu.edu
for more information.
In affiliation with the Law & Society
Association, this Network seeks to encourage interactions among
scholars from diverse disciplinary perspectives who focus on the
legal, social, and cultural dimensions of intellectual
properties--including patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade
secrets, and rights of publicity. Our goal is to encourage
creatively eclectic approaches to the study of intellectual property
between law and society scholars who draw on traditional doctrinal
and policy analyses, historical analyses, cultural studies analyses,
and empirical analyses of intellectual property law in action.
Intellectual properties, and the processes of globalization of which
they are a part, are an especially promising and important area for
collaborative research of the kind that law and society scholars
have long pioneered.
