Autonomy and The Law

The Center for Critical Democracy Studies invites you to a workshop on Autonomy and the Law. This event will explore the complex interplay between autonomy and legal frameworks, with a focus on the right to housing, the concept of autonomy in law, child autonomy, digital markets, and a conceptual inquiry into the limits of autonomy. Key themes include the legal and social dimensions of securing housing rights, the philosophical and practical facets of autonomy within legal systems, the unique challenges of children’s autonomy in legal contexts, the impact of digital markets on individual agency, and the theoretical boundaries of autonomous action. Critical issues to be addressed encompass systemic barriers to housing access, the balance between individual autonomy and societal obligations, protections for minors in legal decision-making, privacy and consumer rights in digital ecosystems, and the ethical and legal constraints on autonomy. This workshop provides a platform for engaging in a dialogue on the pressing legal, ethical, and societal questions shaping autonomy across these domains.
