Kent Law School (KLS) is an interdisciplinary centre of critical research and teaching in law, predominantly focused on social, economic, political and environmental justice. We have a strong international reputation for socio-legal, critical, and feminist research. Our teaching methods have led at least two generations of socially-aware legal pedagogy in the UK, putting law into its wider context for undergraduates and postgraduates alike. Our law clinic combines practice-led, experiential teaching with the provision of valuable legal services to the local Kent community.

In this report we highlight our research contributions for 2017/18, providing some examples of how they have influenced others – academics, members of the public, non-academic professionals, artists, and government. A full record of our research activities for the year is available in the appendices. Research Contributions 3

Reflecting on 2017/18

I am very happy to introduce Kent Law School’s 2017-2018 research report. Kent Law School provides a warm, collegial environment in which academics from a range of legal backgrounds can study law’s effects in the wider world. Our approach is critical and innovative, with many of us working across traditional academic boundaries and forging research links with people and organisations outside of academia. It is a difficult job to represent the diversity of our research and impact collaborations in a short publication like this, but this report gives you an indication of our reflexive approach and the kind of work we do. I would like to thank Professor Amanda Perry-Kessaris for pulling the report together and Cathy Norman for her excellent on-going research support to the department. I hope you enjoy reading about our work. Professor Emily Grabham Co-director of Research Kent Law School 4 Research Contributions Annual Research Report of Kent Law School 2017/18

Collaboration

Most KLS academics engage in collaborations – co-producing research-related work with other academics and non-academics – and we benefit greatly from working closely with a wide range of collaborators both domestically and internationally. Our non-academic collaborators not only provide significant audiences for our research but, in many cases, inspire, support and, on occasion, directly commission it, shaping our research questions and having direct input into research design. This collaborative approach has greatly enhanced the salience, significance and reach of our work beyond academia which has had Photo: Anthony Rodriguez/Blacknote Photography Rodriguez/Blacknote Anthony Photo: significant impact not just on the work of law-makers but also on other professional groups, activists, has been funded by a DECRA (Discovery ‘Speeches Punctuated with Resounding artists and NGOs.

Dr Thanos Zartaloudis’s architectural project, Mechanism of Suspension, combines his expertise in Greek and common law with the architectural design of a ‘coastal machine’ – a machine designed to expose the commercial exploitation of land and present alternative visions of land use.

The first day of the symposium, held at the Friends Meeting House in Canterbury, began with a panel on settlors, trust industry and the limits of trust. The second panel turned to theoretical frameworks for a critique of the trust. The final panel on the first day Nick Piška Dr Hayley Gibson concerned historical perspectives on trusts.
