Projects

The LPGCIL brings together a range of discrete projects as well as generating research which links those projects together in the formation of a new field of scholarship: Global Corporations and International Law.

Research Craft

The LPGCIL is dedicated to helping people reach their potential as scholarly researchers in the humanities and social sciences. Each year, with TALS, we convene the online Academy in Advanced Legal Research and Method, co-convene sessions of the Academic Skills Circle with IILAH, and share resources on research craft via podcasts, blogposts and handouts.
