The International Law and International Relations Seminar, new in 2006-2007, is co-chaired by Professors Jack Goldsmith and Ryan Goodman (Harvard Law) and Beth A. Simmons (Department of Government). The seminar meets over lunch on Wednesdays to discuss research relating to international law within the context of the social sciences and international affairs. Covering a range of topics—including the use of force, human rights, and trade—the seminar will provide a setting in which to present and discuss participants’ research as well as cutting-edge extramural research.
