Virtual Exhibition: Collective and Individual Rights in Legal History, 2024-2025

We are proud of all the work this last academic year that has united together students from the University of Warwick, Univerza u Ljubljana, VUB, and CY Cergy Paris Université as part of EuTopia Connected Learning Community in Legal History. This year our theme was 'Collective and Individual Rights in Legal History' which has allowed the students to investigate how people have found rights throughout history.

Our Peak Event was held at the University of Warwick on March 13 to 15 2025. Here, the students managed to present their research for the first time before their colleagues leading up to their articles. Topics have ranged from Benjamin Marenče's look at the clashes over language and identity in Slovenian law during the end of the 1800s, to Blue Vercauteren Trompet's look at how debates over abortion in Belgium led to questions over the place of the monarchy in a modern Belgium. Below is our Virtual Exhibition, the culmination of the hard work and research of our students this year.

A big congratulations to everyone who has taken part this year and enjoy the exhibition.

CY CASE - Women and union organization in France (19th - 20th century)

Women and labor  Restrictions and incapacities  Since the middle ages, a woman is under male authority, she is economically dependent of men who control all her life: since her birth, she receives the authority of her father; authority is given to her husband when she marries, for their domestic life; masculine authority follows her at work, under the orders of her employer… When they had the chance to have a job outside of the family home, women were slowed by corporations (in the early modern period), because most did not accept the settlement of women in a male-dominated social world of work.  It is only at the end of the 18 th century that corporations ended, especially in France with the d’Allarde decree in march 1791, and in Great Britain : from then on, women could join easily the industry. Therefore, they were seen in feminine fields such as in millinery or lingerie industries.  Les ouvriers du livre, Rébérioux Madeleine, 1981 Marriage and Civil code  T...

EUTopia PEAK EVENT: Connectedness in Legal History (Brussels: 14-15 March 2024)

(event poster; credits: dr. Elisabeth Bruyère) The European University EUTopia brings together universities across the European continent, as well as partners from the whole world. Students, academics and supporting staff live and work in a vibrant super-diverse microcosm every day. Logically, norms and practices are influenced by various layers of normativity. University research is increasingly targeted at the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Funding is provided by the European Union, national, regional and sometimes even local governmental authorities, but also by multinational corporations. Universities have to abide by laws, regulations, legal principles and judicial decisions emanating from multiple jurisdictions, often not situated in the country wherein they are incorporated.

Peak event report: VUB students

Depending on the point of view, Paris is either seen as Brussels in big, or Brussels as ‘petit-Paris’. In this blogpost we, the EUTopia students from Brussels, guide you through Paris from the viewpoint of a small minority in a very big city. We write this blogpost, in true EUTopian spirit, in three different languages, providing thoughts on engaging encounters, thought-provoking presentations and winding walks through Paris. The song 'Bruxelles je t’aime', by the Brussels-born-but-living-in-Paris singer Angèle, serves as a welcome guide.   Day one: quiet before the storm? Not in Paris! Et sûrement que dès ce soir le ciel couvrira une tempête Mais après l'orage, avec des bières, les gens feront la fête En of het Peak Event ons aansprak. Een dik uur Thalys, een korte metrotrip en twee keer rond het indrukwekkende Monument à la République stonden we naast studenten uit Warwick, Ljubljana en Barcelona. Wanneer het regent in Parijs, druppelt het in Brussel. Maar wann...
