The Lund Cultural Criminology Continued Conference: Courtroom Ethnography

Theme: Courtroom Ethnography: Sites of Control, Emotion, and Digital Challenges

The aim is to explore the courtroom as a multifaceted and analytically rich site, focusing on how control, emotion, and digital technologies shape legal proceedings, professional roles, courtroom culture, and, more broadly, contemporary forms of correction, punishment and social control.

We are proud to present some of the field’s leading experts – Anna Tsalapatanis, Louise Victoria Johansen, Cecilia Nordquist, Thea Myrvang, and Lisa Flower – who will each present a snapshop of the current state of the art, bringing fresh perspectives, which we hope will spark new ideas and challenge us to think differently about how digitalisation shapes the courtroom as a site of control and emotion.

Drawing on fieldwork and theoretical insights, the panelists will discuss the methodological and analytical challenges of conducting ethnography and other types of research in judicial settings, with particular attention to digital transformations, digital tensions and other digital issues in courtroom dynamics.
