University of Georgia School of Law Professor Diane Marie Amann gave a series of public lectures in mid-November at Irish law schools.

While a Visiting Research Scholar at Trinity College Dublin School of Law, she:

• Presented “Child-Taking Justice and Forced Residential Schooling of Indigenous Peoples,” as part of the TriCON Seminar series of the Trinity Centre for Constitutional Law and Governance. The talk concerned a work in progress that builds upon research presented in Professor Amann’s article “Child-Taking, just published at 45 Michigan Journal of International Law 305 (2024), and available here. Discussant for this seminar was Dr. Maeve O’Rourke, Lecturer at the Irish Centre for Human Rights, University of Galway.
