LIBER AMICORUM SERGE GUTWIRTH
Uncommon explorations into law, science & technology
Gloria González FusterNiels van Dijk
Synopsis
Since his seminal work on the relationships between law and sciences in 1992, Serge Gutwirth has been exploring numerous scholarly paths, and reinventing the ways in which academia intersects with activism. Full Professor at the Faculty of Law and Criminology of the Vrije University Brussel (VUB), legal scholar, criminologist, founder of the Law, Science, Technology & Society (LSTS) research group, he has been not only a pioneering mind and a multifaceted writer, but also a mentor and infallible reference for many in Europe and beyond.
A singular thinker of the commons, a theorist of law who is glad to cultivate a collective piece of land with his hands, and a deeply serious scholar with a famous soft spot for humour, he has inspired and keeps inspiring researchers and activists of different generations and backgrounds. In this volume, some of his friends, colleagues and collaborators pay homage to an exceptional intellectual who is also an uncommonly appreciated man.
