GMU’s Conference on Maritime Dispute Resolution

About Gujarat Maritime University Gujarat Maritime University is a bespoke institution for the advancement of Maritime education and research in India. The prime objective of the University is to be a global centre of excellence in maritime education, research, and training. It aims to enhance and increase the human capital and capacity of the maritime industry both in India and across the globe. About International Conference on Maritime Dispute Resolution Centre for Maritime Dispute Resolution, Gujarat Maritime University takes immense pride in announcing its First Annual International Conference on Maritime Dispute Resolution. The Conference intends to act as an intellectual and productive knowledge-sharing space for all academia, researchers, students, industrialists, and enthusiasts of Maritime Law. About the Conference Ships are the largest man-made moving objects on the earth. About 90% of the goods are moved using these ships. The largest moving objects, carrying almost all kinds of cargo and undertaking dangerous voyages, ships are capable of causing huge damages, financial losses, and breaching laws nationally and internationally. Under most systems of law, the person amenable to a dispute arising out of a ship is the owner and demise-charterer, which is usually a company. The company may have been incorporated in any part of the world and having tangible assets other than the ship, which might be mortgaged. Hence, it makes adjudication of maritime legal disputes by litigation a complicated process. Further, Arbitration is also now a usual mechanism resorted to resolve maritime disputes and is being seen as more effective and expeditious than litigation but remains dominated only by few nations and comes with its limitations. Therefore, Gujarat Maritime University strives to bring to light various intricacies of Maritime Dispute Resolution through the International Conference on Maritime Dispute Resolution by providing a platform to researchers, scholars, academicians, professionals, and students to showcase their research.

Migration in Literature: Special Issue of Journal of Migration Affairs

About the Organization Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) is a deemed university fully funded by the University Grants Commission, Government of India. TISS offers over 50 Master’s Degree programs from Mumbai, Tuljapur, Guwahati, and Hyderabad Campuses. Masters’ programs are offered in a range of socially relevant inter-disciplinary areas. The 2020 Pandemic has foregrounded the otherwise neglected vulnerable lives of migrants, especially internal migrants, who live within the perimeters of the country but move from rural to urban areas not of choice but for very survival. Migration, for several decades now, has been a site of inquiry and interest in academia. Existing studies on migration and migrants’ experiences are largely shaped by social scientists, with sociologists, economists, anthropologists and political scientists debating the causes and effects of global migrations. However, migrant narratives in the form of conventional literary works as also the newly emerging genre of blogs/vlogs, films and documentaries have the capacity to empathetically and affectively relate to the complex, multi-layered lives of migrants. Literary narratives read the phenomenon of migration from different perspectives, be it as a result of wartime crisis, political repression, religious/ethnic persecution, lack of economic possibilities, the stigma associated with gender and/or sexual orientation etc. Such narratives help locate the migrant at the very complex interface of race, gender, sexuality, class, caste, religion, ethnicity, able-bodiedness, age, language, legal status, even climate politics. Literary narratives on the experiences of the Atlantic slave trade, for example, highlight the excruciating pain of forced migration that distorts a migrant’s sense of self, language and identity. The idea of the “slave migrant” that emerges in such narratives can definitely help the reader untangle the present-day intricate relationship between labour and migrant workforce that caters to the development of international economy and inevitably transforms the migrants’ living conditions and lifestyles. Certain literary narratives document stories of original inhabitants of countries, whose land, resources, cultures and economies stand ravaged by settler colonialism. The arrival of the colonizer/migrant and his subsequent settlement in the colony (both voluntary) inflicted immeasurable and often irrecoverable changes in the lives of the indigenous people of the colony/country. Migration, thus, is not unilateral but a phenomenon both multidirectional and inconsistent. However, migrant narratives can also be sites of resistance and resilience. Such narratives may highlight fusion cultures; interchange of languages and experiences may manifest in cultural artefacts like new forms of music, poetry, food, new political ideologies to name but a few. Call For Papers Scholarly articles are invited for a special issue of the Journal of Migration Affairs (www.migrationaffairs.com) that might address, but are not limited to: Literary Representations of Internal Migrants Pandemic and the Migrant Experience in Literature Class, Caste, Ethnicity and the Migrant Experience in Literature Refugees, esp. Dislocated and Traumatised Women and Children in Literary Narratives Violence and Migration in Personal Archives Vlogs, Blogs, Photographs, Films and Documentaries of Everyday Life of Migrants Literary Narratives of Borders, Citizenship and Ethnic/Religious Minorities Gender, Sexuality and the Migrant Experience in Literature Intersectionality and Experiences of Migration in Literature Migrant Narratives of Resistance and Resilience Nation, Identities, Religion and the Migrant Experience in Literature Cli- fi, Climate Justice, and Climate Refugees in Literary Narratives Submission Guidelines: The paper should be restricted to 6000-8000 words. Articles under Commentary Section may contain 2500-3000 words. The Journal of Migration Affairs is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal. This usual review process will apply. The papers may be sent to [email protected] with a copy marked to the Guest Editor, Dr Shreya Bhattacharji ([email protected]). Submission Last Date: The last date for sending the paper for this issue is 30 June 2021.

International Virtual Conference on ‘Sports and Law’ by Institute of Law, Nirma University

Christ University Law Journal (CULJ) on Labor Law Reforms

About the Journal The CULJ (ISSN: 2278-4322; Indexed: Library of Congress Control Number 2013411703) is an open-access, double-blind peer-reviewed law journal. Christ University Law Journal seeks to facilitate greater interest and deeper insight in various fields of law among students, academicians, and legal scholars. It provides space for discussions, comments, and concerns in recent legal issues and developments. The Journal targets academic institutions, research centers, policymakers, and government organizations. Theme Labour Law Reforms in India and its Implications (July – Dec 2021) About the Theme: It is estimated that our country has more than 44 central legislations under four heads (yet to be enforced) viz. Code on Wages, Code on Social Security and Occupational Safety, Code on Industrial Relations, and code on Health and Working Conditions, for regulating and protecting labor and we also have laws for ensuring the health, safety, and better working conditions of workers. However, Indian labor laws are often characterized as “inflexible.” Investors claim that majority of the firms hesitate from hiring new workers because of the stringent permission provisions existing in the present legal system, thus hindering the growth of Indian companies. Though the amalgamation of labor legislations can be considered as a major step towards reform, another concern will be regarding the dilution of the socialistic oriented labor perspective, which existed in Indian industrial jurisprudence. Liberalized policies will create more contractual freedom, but reduce a healthy environment for workers, specifically in terms of their rights. The daunting challenge before governments will be to balance the market, labor, and the employer. To examine these issues further, Christ University Law Journal invites research paper submissions on the following sub-themes: Labour Reforms in India: Issues & Challenges Economic Perspective on Labour Reforms in India The Code on Wages, 2019: A Critical Analysis The Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code – Issues and concerns The Code on Social Security and informal sector in India Industrial Relations: Challenges Collective bargaining and the role of trade unions at the outset of labour reforms in India The Code on Social Security: Issues & Challenges Submission Guidelines Guidelines for Contributors: Christ University Law Journal (CULJ), ISSN 2278-4322, invites contributions in the form of articles, case comments, legislative notes and book reviews. All submissions are subject to peer review and modification as per the journal style sheet. Word Limit: The word limit for articles is between 6,000 to 10,000 words (inclusive of footnotes), comments and book reviews between 2,000 to 4,000 words, and legislative notes between 3,000 to 5,000 words. Citation Format: The citation format to be used is The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation, Harvard Law Review (19th ed.). Abstract: The manuscript must be accompanied by an abstract not exceeding 300 words with five to eight keywords.

This journal aims to make an effort in identifying the key areas of Intellectual Property, Competition Law and Data Protection Laws that coincide or overlap each other and yet remain complementary.

Information Era, the codename for the 21st century, is indispensable to the growth and progress of a modern economy, particularly data based economies. Further, we may recognize that the basis of Intellectual Property happens to be application of the idea and exclusivity thereon while the object of Competition Law is also based on information, be it in the nature of trade secrets, protected information or through practical tools such as non-disclosure agreements.
