In 20th- and 21st-century Russia, Eastern Europe and Eurasia various theories and practices of justice dramatically affected the lives of millions of people. While states engaged in various experiments from constitutional to moral governance, from People's Courts to human rights policies, citizens actively contributed, subverted, and renegotiated official regimes of justice. This conference will explore experiments in law and regulations, narratives and theories of justice, translations and material objectifications of justice, and ethic and affective circulations of justice and morality in its local and global forms. We invite comparative and interdisciplinary research-based contributions on various issues interconnected with the topic of justice in various socialist and post-socialist societies and in the regions affected by socialism and post-socialism. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - law, justice, morality - justice, nationalism, and the state - local, national, and transnational regimes of justice - art, science, religion, and justice - justice and citizenship - philosophical perspectives on justice - grassroots moral economies and ethical frameworks Keynote speakers: Kim Lane Scheppele (Princeton University) Robert M.
