1. Call for Papers: Oxford Workshop in Honour of Sir Frank Berman. The Oxford University Faculty of Law, the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law & Armed Conflict, All Souls College, and Wadham College will host a workshop on 17 June 2025 to honour Sir Frank Berman KCMG KC’s long personal and professional association with Oxford, including his time as Visiting Professor of International Law and Honorary Fellow of Wadham College, Oxford. Applications are invited from early career researchers, including doctoral students, on the theme – Treaty Regimes in International Law. Topics may include the functioning, control, and governance of particular treaty regimes, the activities of dispute settlement or monitoring bodies, and assemblies or conferences of State parties. They are particularly interested in examining how well the general law of treaties copes with the interactions or conflicts between different treaty regimes, as well as between treaty regimes and general international law. Abstracts of no more than 400 words together with a short resumé should be submitted by 10 March 2025 to elac.events {at} bsg.ox.ac(.)uk  (please indicate ‘Berman workshop abstract’ in the subject line). If selected, participants will then be asked to circulate a draft of the paper, which can still be rough/in progress, by 23 May 2025. They are able to provide some financial assistance to selected participants on the basis of need.

You probably assume that you know what the word “expat” means. The writer Lucy Mushita first heard that word from European and American professionals who had come to work in her home country (Zimbabwe); they used it to describe themselves. She looked it up in a dictionary and found out that “expat” designates someone who goes to live or work in a country that is not his or her own. Later, however, she discovered that the word had a more limited scope than what its dictionary meaning suggested. “When I arrived in France and introduced myself as an expat, people looked at me with wide eyes,” she describes in her latest book Expat Blues. “They asked me if I’d fled poverty, misery or war, and I replied that I hadn’t. I was an expat. I was an expat who had followed her husband to France. But I realized that the word didn’t work for black people in the Western world.”
