MILHIS Talks

Voices. MILHIS Talks

MILHIS Talks is one of the three forms through which MILHIS Voices articulates its approach to legal-historical research. It is conceived as a space for encounter and discussion among legal historians and scholars from related disciplines, where dialogue functions not as a supplement to research, but as a mode of inquiry in its own right.

Rather than offering finished syntheses or formal presentations, Talks foregrounds conversation as a scholarly practice. Each encounter centres on research in progress, recent publications, methodological questions, or shared problems within legal history, creating a setting in which ideas are tested, perspectives are brought into relation, and lines of inquiry are collectively explored.

In this sense, MILHIS Talks gives concrete form to the relational dimension of research. By placing voices in direct conversation, it highlights the intellectual and social processes through which historical–legal knowledge is developed, discussed, and refined. Within the broader framework of MILHIS Voices, Talks affirms dialogue as a central component of historical–legal inquiry, fostering an open yet rigorous environment of shared reflection.

MILHIS Talks opens with its first event.
