    Page | 1 Anthropometric Laboratory The Anthropometric Committee (1875-1883) When the Belgian Adolphe Quetelet (1796-1874) published his book on Anthropometry in 1870 under the title Anthropométrie, his work was already known in England, and was gradually getting adopted. Quetelet was the first to use human measurements as a means of defining what should be considered ‘normal’ and ‘average man’, already from the 1830s, with his first book on the subject appearing in 1835 under the title Sur l’Homme et le Développment de ses Facultés (‘On Man and the Development of his Faculties’). This was largely based on his study of school children, of which he measured their heights and weights, in an attempt to find a correlation between the two and specifically how both height and weight increased with age (Smith 2019, 7). Both the founding of the Statistical Section of the British Association (1833) and the Statistical Society of London (1834) are attributed to Quetelet’s work, having been also elected as ‘a foreign member of the Statistical Society of London and credited as a founder’ (Smith 2019, 6). His book was also translated in English and published in 1842 (Smith 2019, 7). It was not however until 1875 that the British Association for the Advancement of Science (itself founded in 1831) that it founded an Anthropometric Committee aiming to ‘describe the physical condition of the population of the British Isles, and, to a degree, that of other places and peoples around the world’ (Jordan 2013, 10). Quetelet’s work was very influential for Charles Roberts, who became one of the most important anthropometrists working with the Anthropometric Committee, which he joined in 1876 (Jordan 2013, 10).

These scholars, drawing lessons from developments across the Atlantic, concluded that the U.S. Supreme Court had played a key role in fostering national integration and market liberalization. They foresaw the possibility for the European Court of Justice (ECJ) to be a catalyst for a similar federal and constitutional outcome in Europe. The present contribution argues that the scholars who constructed today’s dominant European constitutional paradigm underemphasized key aspects of the U.S. constitutional experience, including judgments that favored states’ rights doctrines that buttressed the social plagues of slavery and laissez faire policies that reinforced economic inequality. This selective reception of the U.S. experience, bracketing racial subordination and neoliberal policies under the rubric of states’ rights, propelled European constitutionalism into a neverland—one that claimed to draw inspiration from U.S.

  • Comment by Dr Iyiola Solanke, University of Leeds
    Beyond 2015: Shaping the future of equality, human rights and social justice (12 and 13 February 2015) Session 5: Where do we want to be? Future studies – how do we want UK society to look in ten years’ time? Comment by Dr Iyiola Solanke, University of Leeds I'm an academic and I'm here to talk to you from a more theoretical position perhaps. I am really a socio-legal scholar so I look at the law but I also look at the impact of law in society, and the impact of society on the law. Thinking about the future, I thought well OK, in 2025, who might we want to benefit? I thought children, why don't we think about the young and what might be good for them in the future in terms of equality. A few days ago I read a very interesting case from the Court of Appeal which related to European Union law. So I am trying to bring in a global aspect here, thinking beyond the borders of this island. This case is part of a continuing saga. Some of you might be familiar with the Zambrano case decided by the European Court of Justice in 2011, which basically said that national governments have to provide a right of residence for persons who do not have citizenship of an EU Member State, if they are the carer of a child that is a European citizen. In other words, this ruling prevented Member States from deporting any third country national or person without a nationality of the European Union who could demonstrate that if they had to leave they would also have to take their European Union citizen with them.
