With over 400 papers across 42 streams and themes the conference promises to be a vibrant and stimulating one. It is particularly pleasing that the SLSA should return to Warwick, which pioneered the contextual approach to the study of law, as the University is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The success of any conference is largely dependent on those who participate. Delegates are coming from around the world which we hope will facilitate comparative discussion and the establishment and strengthening of international socio-legal networks. Every year, groundbreaking papers are presented by first-time delegates, many of whom have previously attended one of our very successful postgraduate conferences. This year we are continuing with our poster session and, in light of its success over the past two years, have extended it to include established scholars as well as postgraduate students. The latter will also be entered in our annual poster competition, and I encourage everyone to take the opportunity to view the posters during the drinks reception on Tuesday evening, where they will be on display in the magnificent Mead Gallery. I would like to extend my thanks on behalf of the Executive Committee to all those involved in the organization of the conference, particularly Ana Aliverti, Jonathan Garton, Maebh Harding, Andreas Kokkinis, Celine Tan and Charlotte Woodhead, together with Wendy Curtis, Nic Doran, Vida Glanville, Stephen Gant and Kerry Walsh, for the months of hard work this has entailed. I also want to thank our sponsors – their generosity enables us to support the socio-legal community in many ways. I extend my congratulations to this year’s prize winners Alan Paterson (book prize), Debbie Becher and Kirsten McConnachie (joint winders of the early career book prize), Henry Yeomans (socio-legal theory and history prize) and Amanda Perry-Kessaris (article prize), and especially to Sally Wheeler, whose outstanding work over many years is being recognised at this year’s conference with the SLSA’s award for contributions to the socio-legal community. Finally, I would like to thank the participants in what will no doubt be a lively plenary panel session on teaching law in context. If you would like to know more about the SLSA, please visit our stall at the conference, speak to an Executive member or attend the Annual General Meeting on Wednesday lunchtime. I hope that you enjoy the conference and look forward to meeting many of you over the next three days. Professor Rosemary Hunter FAcSS Chair of the SLSA 1 Welcome from the Head of Warwick Law School On behalf of Warwick Law School, I wish you a most warm welcome to SLSA 2015. We are delighted to host the conference in Warwick University’s 50th anniversary year. I would like to thank the SLSA Executive Committee for accepting our bid at this auspicious time. I would also like to thank the many colleagues at WLS who have worked to bring SLSA 2015 here, and to provide what I am confident will be a successful conference. From its inception in the late 1960s, Warwick Law School has pioneered a contextual approach to the study of law. I believe that this offers not an alternative or supplement to traditional approaches, but a better understanding. When we speak of law in context, we speak in the plural, because our approaches change to reflect new developments in social science and the humanities. Behind the evolution, however, remains the study of law as a living phenomenon, linked to the spaces, relations and situations where it operates. It is such a vision, I believe, that brings us all to Warwick for SLSA 2015. With 400 papers submitted, it is clear that socio-legal studies remain vibrant. The programme indicates the strength and variety of our work, while stream headings indicate its cutting edge nature. As a Law member of REF 2014, I was struck by the range and quality of the submissions. I have a similar sense with regard to SLSA 2015. Whatever the challenges facing UK university education, our discipline is in good shape. At this conference, we will not only test our ideas, but also contribute to the flourishing of socio-legal studies in the UK. I also hope we will have a good time: enjoy the conference!

  • Anti-Cuts Protests in the UK: Are We Really All in This Together?
    Are We Really All in This Together? Anti-Cuts Protests in the UK: Introduction A high number and wide variety of protests have been organized in the UK Clare Saunders, Silke Roth and Cristiana Olcese since the implementation of austerity measures following the 2008 financial © Copyrighted Material crisis. The UK government’s response to protests against austerity has been to suggest that “we are all in this together.” This sentiment has been widely publicly ridiculed because of the polarity of cutting welfare benefits whilst preserving tax havens. Anti-austerity protesters have picked up on this tide of public ridicule and emphasized the sharp contrast between the minority rich and the majority of Chapter 8 British citizens whose conditions have dramatically worsened as a consequence of austerity measures. This master frame is best exemplified by the slogan of the Occupy protests: “We are the 99 percent.” Whilst no-one would ever suggest that a protest, or set of protests, is able to unite 100 percent of the population, we expect anti-austerity protests to share the ability to mobilize broadly given that they have similar broadly conceived goals. have been well documented in the Global South, much less has been written about the constituenciesWhile the cross-classof anti-austerity and cross-issueprotests in thedimensions richer Global of anti-austerity North. A protest systematic exploration of different street demonstration responses to austerity would shed some light on the possible reasons for and dynamics of separate yet likely overlapping actions. This chapter aims to tackle this issue by focusing on similarities and differences across three major austerity protests in London: the student demonstration Fund Our Future (FoF); Occupy London; and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) March for the Alternative.
